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.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
