چکیده
An Extended hydrodynamic model describing carrier transport in semiconductor devices is checked with the Onsager Reciprocity Principle, which is one of the fundamental principles of Linear Irreversible Thermodynamic. Monte Carlo simulations for a one-dimensional n + ? n ? n + silicon diode are shown.

Quasi-ballistic Transport in Submicron Hg0.8Cd0.2Te Diodes: Hydrodynamic Modeling
In this paper, we analyze the problem of quasiballistic electron transport in ultra small of mercury -cadmiumtelluride (Hg0.8Cd0.2Te -MCT) n-nn devices from hydrodynamic point view. From our study, we note that, when the size of the active layer is low than 0.1μm and for low bias application ( ) mV 9 ≥ , the quasi-ballistic transport has an important effect. Keywords—Hg0.8Cd0.2Te semiconductor,...
متن کاملHydrodynamic modelling of electron transport in submicron Hg0.8Cd0.2Te diodes
We simulate electron transport in ultra small mercury-cadmium-telluride n-n-n diodes using a hydrodynamic approach. A numerical staggered solution is employed to treat the coupled hydrodynamic and Poisson equations, where the spatial profiles of the main transport parameters within the diodes are analyzed including the Auger generationrecombination processes. Our numerical results show that, ev...

In this letter we clarify the role of heat flux in the hydrodynamic balance equations in 2D quantum wells, facilitating the formulation of an Onsager relation within the framework of this theory. We find that the Onsager relation is satisfied within the framework of the 2D hydrodynamic balance equation transport theory at sufficiently high density. The condition of high density is consonant wit...

متن کاملMonte Carlo Evaluation of the Transport Coeecients in a N + ? N ? N + Silicon Diode
Hydrodynamic-like models are commonly used for describing carrier transport in semiconductor devices. One major problem of this formulation is how to model the production terms. In this paper the relaxation-time approximation and the moments expansion of the production terms are checked with Monte Carlo simulations for a one dimensional n + ? n ? n + silicon diode in the spherical parabolic ban...
