Variance and Covariance Estimation in Stationary Monte Carlo Device Simulation
This work deals with the Monte Carlo method for stationary device simulation, known as the Single-Particle Monte Carlo method. A thorough mathematical analysis of this method clearly identifies the independent, identically distributed random variables of the simulated process. Knowledge of these random variables allows usage of straight-forward estimates of the stochastic error. The presented m...
متن کاملOn particle-mesh coupling in Monte Carlo semiconductor device simulation
Improved NGP and CIC particle-mesh schemes are suggested, and a NEC scheme proposed, to help reduce self forces in Monte Carlo semiconductor device simulation. An attempt to design a scheme with reduced self forces for unstructured triangular meshes is unsuccessful.
متن کاملParallel and Distributed Three-Dimensional Monte Carlo Semiconductor Device Simulation
We present a parallel Monte Carlo algorithm for the simulation of semiconductor devices in three dimensions. The physical behavior of the system is governed by the Boltzmann Transport Equation. In the absence of direct interactions among charge carriers, the samplings of the statistical space are independent. This results in a potential decoupling of computational tasks that reduces the number ...
متن کاملThe stationary Monte Carlo method for device simulation. II. Event biasing and variance estimation
A theoretical analysis of the Monte Carlo method for the solution of the stationary boundary value problem defined by the Boltzmann equation has been presented in Part I. Based on this analysis, the independent, identically distributed random variables of the simulated process are identified. Estimates of the stochastic error of the single-particle Monte Carlo method are derived. An event-biasi...
متن کاملThe stationary Monte Carlo method for device simulation. I. Theory
A theoretical analysis of the Monte Carlo method for steady-state semiconductor device simulation, also known as the single-particle Monte Carlo method, is presented. At the outset of the formal treatment is the stationary Boltzmann equation supplemented by boundary conditions, which is transformed into an integral equation. The conjugate equation has been formulated in order to develop forward...
