ChargeTransport.jl -- Simulating charge transport in semiconductors

Build status DOI

ChargeTransport.jl simulates charge transport in semiconductors. To this end, it discretizes the semiconductor drift-diffusion equations via the Voronoi finite volume method as implemented in VoronoiFVM.jl.

Breaking Changes in v1.0.0 🚨

Version 1.0.0 introduces several important changes to improve the package's usability and maintainability:

  • New Parameter System: Parameter files are replaced by parameter structs with explicit access (e.g., p = parameter_set(); p.foo)
  • Unit Handling: Global unit factors are removed in favor of local unit factors from LessUnitful.jl (@local_unitfactors and ufac"")
  • Constants Management: New globally available dimensionless constants object for physical constants
  • API Changes:
    • Data type now takes a constants object as key word argument, defaults to standard constants.
    • Thermal voltage UT is removed from Params and replaced with temperature in relevant methods
    • eV not available any more, use explicit eV = q * V if needed

Special features

  • heterostructures
  • 1D, 2D and 3D simulations
  • stationary and transient simulations
  • IV curves and scan protocols
  • an arbitrary amount of charge carriers may be added
  • thermodynamically consistent, physics preserving numerical methods
  • different charge carrier statistics per species (Boltzmann, Blakemore, Fermi-Dirac)
