Simulation of Semiconductor Devices and Processes

Abstract

Improved NGP and CIC particle-mesh schemes are suggested, and a NEC scheme proposed, to help reduce self forces in Monte Carlo semiconductor device simulation. An attempt to design a scheme with reduced self forces for unstructured triangular meshes is unsuccessful.
