A genetic algorithm is used for design of infrared filters and in the understanding of the material structure of a resonant tunneling diode. These two components are examples of microdevices and nanodevices that can be numerically simulated using fundamental mathematical and physical models. Because the number of parameters that can be used in the design of one of these devices is large, and because experimental exploration of the design space is unfeasible, reliable software models integrated with global optimization methods are examined. The genetic algorithm and engineering design codes have been implements on massively parallel computers to exploit their high performance. Design results are presented for the infrared filter and a resonant tunneling diode.
