ABACUS Tool Suite and PN Junctions - Fall 2023

Explore the ABACUS Tool Suite and PN Junctions in this 41-minute video lecture by Dr. Gerhard Klimeck from Purdue University. Gain insights into the Recitation Series for Semiconductor Education as Dr. Klimeck provides an overview of ABACUS and demonstrates the PN Junction Lab. Learn how to analyze band edge diagrams and charge distributions under various bias conditions, observe band movement and depletion region changes, and experiment with different doping levels and junction types. Delve into advanced topics such as minority carrier relaxation times and resistive behavior in realistic devices. Discover how this educational tool is powered by an industrial-strength simulation engine originally developed at Bell Labs for modeling electronic devices.
