Title

Semiconductor Device Physics And Modelling. Part 2: Overview Of Models And Their Applications

Abstract

The classic semiconductor device models are reviewed and discussed. They include the generic models for more accurate device modelling, such as the Linvill lumped-circuit model and the Sah transmission-line circuit model, and the conventional models aimed at predicating the first-order device behaviour, such as the drift-diffusion model. Specific applications of these models on an n-p junction diode are illustrated. The increasingly important Monte Carlo simulation, which is a numerical technique for solving the Boltzmann transport equation, and which has become a standard method for simulating free-carrier transport in advanced semiconductor devices, is also briefly reviewed and discussed.
