2 Non–Equilibrium Solver 2.1
Objective
Goal of this project is to develop a one-dimensional (1D) drift-diffusion simulator for modeling pnjunctions (diodes) under forward bias conditions. Both types of carriers have to be included in the model (electrons and holes). Finite-difference expressions should be used for the electron and hole current continuity equations using Sharfetter-Gummel discretization scheme.
2.2
Specifications
εsc = 1.05x10-10 ni = 1.5x1010 cm-3 , T = 300K. Electron mobility = 1500 cm2/V-s Hole mobility = 1000 cm2/V-s Doping : NA = 1016 cm-3 for p-region and ND = 1016 cm-3 for n-region. Numerical Methods used – LU Decomposition method for the solution of 1D Poisson and 1D electron and Hole continuity equation.
2.3
Methodology
The flow chart explains the methodology followed. Following steps were followed to simulate the nonequilibrium condition of a 1D pn-diode. 1. Calculate the equilibrium condition of the diode by solving the linearized Poisson’s equation. 2. Define an initial Mesh, which should be fine enough to give correct result. If the Mesh size is too large then the results obtained will not be correct. The mesh size is less than the Debye Length. 3. Initialize all discretization co-efficients, doping density and potential based on charge density. 4. Solve for the updated potential using LU decomposition method. 5. Update coefficient of the linearized Poisson’s equation. 6. Check for convergence against a predefined error value(10-5). 7. Equilibrium solution gives electric field, electric potential and net doping values (n and p concentration) to be used as the initial values for the non-equilibrium solver.

8. Based on the equilibrium values we solve the continuity equation for electron and holes to get the current. 9.
Calculate the low field mobility. mun0 = 1500 cm2/V-s and mup0 = 1000 cm2/V-s. Store the mobility values in an array for each node points.
10. Calculate the field dependant mobility based on the local filed at each node. mun(E) for electron and mup(E) for holes. (FDM)
11. Calculate Bernauli’s function that depends on potential. (BF) 12. Determine the discretization coefficients (product of FDM and BF) of continuity eqns for electron and holes. 13. Update the generation and recombination rate i.e. the forcing function of the continuity equation. 2
p.n − ni G= τ p ( n + ni ) + τ n ( p + p i ) 14. Solve electron continuity eqn using LU decomposition and we get “n”. 15. Solve hole continuity eqn using LU decomposition and we get “p”. 16. Update central coefficient and forcing function in Poisson’s equation (now use n and p instead of eφ and e-φ). 17. Solve Poisson’s equation using LU decomposition. 18. Check tolerance, if not valid then go to step 9 and repeat (as we have updated the potential the field dependant mobility has changed).

The simulation was performed by varying Anode voltage from 0 to 0.625V in 0.33*V T steps. All the results were plotted as mentioned below. NOTE : It was observed that by varying the DC voltage from 0 to 0.625 with smaller bias steps like 0.33VT gives better results compared to larger bias steps like V T . The results obtained from smaller bias steps exactly matche with NanoHub plots.

Total Current (Electron + Hole) going from Cathode to Anode is Constant. Total Current (sum of electron and Hole currents) for 0.625 V is found to be 4.177 A/cm2 which matches with NanoHub Total current for the same bias voltage. The total current is constant through the entire device from cathode to anode as shown in the plot. This proves current continuity.

From this project I conclude that I learnt more by designing the simulator myself compared to generating the plots on Nanohub. Nanohub is a wonderful tool to explore device properties and verify results. But designing one’s own simulator gives greater insight into the actual working of the commercial simulator and Nanohub. I can better understand how the equations are solved, how it is better to take smaller biases and finer mesh sizes to solve an equilibrium condition.

Results from Larger Bias steps = VT.
The output plots do not match with the actual NanoHub results when larger Bias steps are used for Anode voltage increment. Hence finer bias steps give better results. -3
