MIT integrated microelectronics device experimentation and simulation iLab

We developed the MIT Integrated Microelectronics Device Experimentation and Simulation iLab, a new online laboratory that combines and significantly upgrades the capabilities of two existing online microelectronics labs: WebLab, a device characterization lab, and WebLabSim, a device simulation lab. The new integrated tool allows users to simultaneously run experiments on actual devices and simulations on the virtual ones, as well as to compare the results of the two. In order to achieve this, we considerably extended the capabilities of the original clients. We added the ability to graph the results of multiple experiments and simulations simultaneously, on top of each other, which allows for much easier comparison. We also added the ability to load, view and graph the results of experiments and simulations that were ran at any point in the past, even when the corresponding lab configurations are no longer available. Our hope is that this new integrated iLab will enrich microelectronics teaching and learning by allowing students to compare real life device behavior with theoretical expectations.
