Key words: Semiconductors, Transport theory, Mathematics.
Semiconductor device simulation is mainly based on Monte Carlo methods. However, there are essential advantages gained by directly solving the Bloch-Boltzmann-Peierls equations, which gove the dynamics of carriers and phonons in semiconductors. In this book, an attempt is made to introduce such deterministic solution techniques, called multigroup model equations, especially for describing the particle transport in III-V compound semiconductors.
Contents.
Preface.
Introduction.
The Bloch-Boltzmann-Peierls Equations.
Multigroup Model Equations for Polar Semiconductors.
Particle Transport in Indium Phosphide.
Particle Transport in Gallium Arsenide.
Multigroup Equations for Degenerated Carrier Gases.
The Two-dimensional Electron Gas.
The Multigroup-WENO Solver for Semiconductor. Device Simulation.
Simulation of Silicon Devices.
Simulation of Gallium Arsenide Devices.
Conclusion.
Bibliography.
