  • Abstract
    The field solution for a semiconductor material is presented in terms of gradient and curl components based on a drift-diffusion model. This is done for both biased and unbiased semiconductors where the bias causes a drift current. A simple demonstration of the field representation is given for plane-wave scattering at a dielectric-semiconductor interface when the incident field used is either TMz or TEz
