Abstract :
A device simulator that solves semiconductor models on a parallel computer system has been developed. We present our method for the numerical solution of time dependent semiconductor equations in up to three dimensions. The chosen discretisation in time is suitable for stiff problems where time constants spread over many orders of magnitude. The efficiency of the approach is demonstrated with some examples including the simulation of photodetectors
