Three-dimensional simulation of planar semiconductor diodes
S. Kavadias, Κωνσταντίνος Μισιακός · IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices · 1993
Accurate three-dimensional simulation results are presented, showing the geometry dependence of the current of a planar diode. Comparison of the three-dimensional simulation to one- and two-dimensional results reveals the range of validity of simplified models based on lower-dimensional analysis. The current of square and rectangular junctions is approximated by analytical expressions that provide insight about the bulk and the edge components.>
