FET-Analyze: [Data Analysis & Plotting]
- Most likely nothing like this exists in the world.
- Originally started as a reformatting Fortran program to organize messy data.
- Easier to view with any text program and easy to use/plot in Excel.
- Later grown into automated analysis program to get the data for all files in a folder.
- Reduces the calculation time from so many hours to couple of minutes!
- Well defined algorithm reduces errors and increases reproducibility.
- Moved the above Fortran program to Python with added Plotting.
- The program can distinguish Output and Transfer characteristics files.
- If filenames are same (with only -tc added for TC), it will plot them together.
- Excel is never needed, but can be readily used.
- Data are written in a meaningful and easy-to-read form in formatted-CSV files.
- Modifications are always possible (compared to commercial programs).
- Multiple calculations performed, which give additional insights on the results.
- Curves are plotted and saved in a PDF/PNG file along with results Table (1 page).
- Best results are summarized in Summary text file for a quick glance.
- Any number of data files can be easily analyzed from this one Summary file.
- This program reduces the total work time by about 50%; the post-experimental analysis time is reduced by 99% (which is about half of total work time).
- In addition to fully saving mind-numbing work time, it provides more analysis and enables one to study the mobility and Vt changes with different Vds, L values, and from both linear & saturation regimes. We can do all these with just a few extra seconds in a relaxed way.
