Silvaco: "simulator has unexpectedly exited with status -1073741819"

AI Thread Summary
The user is encountering an error with Silvaco's simulator during the NMOS construction process, specifically at the last implantation stage. Despite attempts to adjust the implantation energy and dose, as well as changing the project folder and including thermal annealing, the issue persists. Previous similar errors were resolved by changing the tony plot version, but this situation does not relate to that. A suggestion was made that the error might be an access violation caused by a buffer overrun, and contacting Silvaco for support was recommended. The discussion highlights the need for troubleshooting assistance with the simulator's unexpected exit status.

TL;DR Summary
it is about an error in Silvaco software.
the error is here: "simulator has unexpectedly exited with status -1073741819"
this error occurs when I wanted to make the source and drain implantation.
Hello,

I am simulating the process of NMOS construction. as you know, in order to make the LDD, we need two implantations, one before creating oxide spacer and another after creating oxide spacer. at the last implantation, I am facing an error which is shown in the following image:

I put the code in the attachment too. I have placed thermal annealing after each implantation. Also, the project folder has been changed a couple of time to see the problem is solved or not. energy and dose of implantation has been changed in a wide range, but it did not help. actually, such error has been previously seen in this software but that was when tony plot wanted to come up. in mentioned condition, we just changed the tony plot version in the preference window, and this was solved. but now, this error is not about tony plot, because it even does not complete running Athena codes.

SO, have you any opinion to solve this error?
any help would be appreciated.

Probably an access violation error caused by a buffer overrun.

Could be this answer is completely useless, but that's what Visual Studio documentation says about error 0xC0000005.
 
I'd suggest contacting Silvaco.
 
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
