We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

As I mentioned, there is no difference whatever the semiconductor material you use for simulation of such device. Just follow the examples online to set up your simulation and contact us should you have questions.
