DANCIR (Device and Circuit Simulator): A three-dimensional steady-state semiconductor device simulator

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7020231· OSTI ID:7020231
This report discusses a program called DANCIR that was developed to model semiconductor devices. DANCIR, which stands for Device and Circuit Simulator, enables the user to computer the steady-state solution to the drift-diffusion equations for a single semiconductor device. The drift-diffusion equations that describe carrier motion in a semiconductor device can be used to compute operating characteristics for a semiconductor device. This allows the engineer to design different devices and predict the behavior of these devices without resorting to the time-consuming process of building many prototypes. 22 refs., 4 figs.
