AMPS stands for Analysis of Microelectronic and Photonic Structures. It was engineered to be a very general and versatile computer simulation tool for the analysis of device physics and device design. It is a one-dimensional (1-D) device physics code which is applicable to any two terminal device. It can be for diode, sensor, photo-diode, and photovoltaic device analysis... AMPS was developed by Prof. Stephen Fonash and a number of his and post-doctorate students at The Pennsylvania State University under the sponsorship of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Under EPRI support the AMPS-1D project was initiated and developed for the UNIX operating system. A few years later, there was a demand for AMPS-1D on PCs. Hence, a PC version was developed for the OS/2 operating system.
