A New Method for Photoelectric Device Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new method for photoelectric device simulation has been developed in our open source software “A Two-Dimensional General Purpose Semiconductor Simulator (GSS)”. Rigorous distribution of incident light in photoelectric device has been obtained by solving Helmholtz equation using finite element method (FEM) with uniaxial perfectly matched layer (UPML) as absorbing boundary. Optical carrier generation ratio has been calculated according to the conversation of energy law. Optical carrier generation ratio and I-V curve of a photoconductive diode induced by continuous wave laser are presented. Analysis shows that optical carrier generation calculated in GSS is more reasonable and I-V curve calculated in GSS agrees well with Medici’s.
