Monte Carlo Simulation of Semiconductor Devices

This book provides a thorough introduction to, and review of, the modelling of semiconductor devices using the Monte Carlo particle method. Beginning with a review of the essential physics of solid-state devices and electron transport, Dr Moglestue then explains the particle modelling technique with applications to semiconductor devices using illustrative examples from actual experience. Any additional physics required is introduced and clarified as necessary. The author draws on a wealth of experience in the field to provide a tutorial and reference source for device physicists, electronics engineers and graduate students wishing to apply Monte Carlo techniques. This book should be of interest to R&D staff and graduate students in solid-state devices, III-V or silicon technology.
