  • Abstract
    Analytical solutions of space-charge regions in semiconductors can be carried out when a one-dimensional symmetry exists. Analog solutions can be used to solve Poisson´s equation for more complex geometries. An analog method is described which has been used with some success. This method consists of a rubber membrane with surface mass loading being used to simulate the semiconductor space charge.
