Carlo Jacoboni, Paolo Lugli

The Monte Carlo Method for Semiconductor Device Simulation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The application of the Monte Carlo method to the simulation of semiconductor devices is presented. A review of the physics of transport in semiconductors is given, followed by an introduction to the physics of semiconductor devices. The Monte Carlo algorithm is discussed in great details, and specific applications to the modelling of semiconductor devices are given. A comparison with traditional simulators is also presented.
