Hydrodynamic and Monte Carlo Simulation of an Electron Shock Wave in a 1-pm n+-n-n+ Diode
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrodynamic model simulations of a steady-state electron shock wave in a 1-pm Si semiconductor device at 77 K are compared with a Monte Carlo simulation of the Boltzmann equation using the DAMOCLES program. Excellent agreement between the two different methods for simulating the electron shock wave can be obtained by adjusting the amount of heat conduction in the hydrodynamic model.

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...
