1. Comparing the Operation of p-i-n vs. p-n Junction Diodes Using PN Junction Lab in ABACUS

   Teaching Materials | 23 Aug 2017 | Contributor(s):: André Schleife, Materials Science and Engineering at Illinois

   In this activity, students use the PN Junction Lab simulation tool in ABACUS on nanoHUB to simulate different p-i-n or p-n diode structures.  Plots of hole concentration and electric field as a function of position, along with the gand structure with and without applied bias, will be...

2. Quantum Workshop IV: Modeling PN Junctions

   Teaching Materials | 16 Mar 2015 | Contributor(s):: Stella Quinones

   Students explore the PN Junction Simulation Tool in order to understand depletion, carrier modeling, and PN junction device physics. Analyze (i) carrier concentration and electric field as a function of doping, and (ii) energy barriers, depletion widths, and net charge density as a function of...
