Title: Computer Simulations of Edge Effects in a Small-Area Mesa N-P Junction Diodes: Preprint

Conference ·
OSTI ID:947894

In this work, computer simulations are used to determine the influence of edge conditions on the overall performance of mesa diodes under dark and illuminated conditions. In particular, we examine the effect of edge shape on the I-V characteristics of the diode.
