DANCIR (device and circuit simulator): A three dimensional steady-state semiconductor device simulator
Abstract
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 compute 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.
