2.1 Basic equations

In this section, we will briefly outline what \(\mathtt{\require{color}{\color[rgb]{0.000000000000000,0.500000000000000,0.500000000000000} SimSS}}\) and \(\mathtt{\require{color}{\color[rgb]{0.000000000000000,0.500000000000000,0.500000000000000} ZimT}}\) calculate and why. We will not put a lot of detail, but rather, we will include literature references for the interested reader.

Figure 2.1 shows the basic band diagram used throughout. The device may or may not have all the elements shown, depending on what the user specifies. \(\mathtt{\require{color}{\color[rgb]{0.000000000000000,0.500000000000000,0.500000000000000} SimSS}}\) and \(\mathtt{\require{color}{\color[rgb]{0.000000000000000,0.500000000000000,0.500000000000000} ZimT}}\) solve the drift-diffusion equations in the layer(s) between the electrodes.
