Classical Model of the Electromagnetic Interaction Suitable for High Speed Semiconductor Device Simulation; Conference paper

摘要

The vector field relations and mobile charge thermodynamics that form a complete and self-consistent classical model of the electromagnetic interaction are presented. The charge thermodynamics includes an original treatment of heat flow between ideal Fermi gases that is derived from their heat capacities. An original discretization scheme based on the properties of Delaunay and Voronoi meshes is also presented. This new scheme allows the field equations to be solved self-consistently with the highly nonlinear charge transport equations, producing the fully coupled dynamics of full wave vector fields, mobile charge densities, as well as mobile charge and crystal lattice temperatures. Linear and nonlinear lossy transmission lines are used to demonstrate the simulator.
