PCPBT: Problem Assignment for Asymmetric Barriers
24 Jun 2009 | Contributor(s): Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck
This example demonstrates to the students that for non-symmetric barriers which arise due to the imperfection of the molecular beam epitaxy process there is a reduction in the transmission coefficient and therefore current.
BJT Lab: Theoretical Exercises
These two theoretical exercises are designed for the purpose of teaching the students the contribution of different current components for various modes of BJT transistor operation and also to understand how to examine and extract important BJT parameters from the device output characteristics.
PN Junction Lab Exercise: Short vs. Long Diode
24 Jun 2009 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck
This exercise examines the behavior of short vs. long diodes.
PN Junction Lab Exercise: Non-Idealities in a PN Diode
This exercise explores the behavior of a non-ideal diode in which the generation-recombination mechanisms in the depletion region, high levels of injection, and series resistance effects can significantly affect the diode behavior.
PCPBT Exercise - Symmetric Barriers
23 Jun 2009 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck
This exercise explores the nature of the quasi-bound states in a symmetric double barrier structure and how the broadening and the position of the quasi-bound states varies with the hidth and the height of the barriers.

Homework Assignment for Bulk Monte Carlo Lab: Arbitrary Crystallographic Direction
This exercise teaches the users how the average carrier velocity, average carrier energy and vally occupation change with the application of the electric field in arbitrary crystalographic direction
Parallel Conduction Channel: an Exercise for 1D Heterostructure Lab
15 Aug 2008 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck
This exercise uses the 1-D Heterostructure Lab, which demonstrates that adding more dopants in the buffer layer becomes ineffective after certain critical doping density. Beyond this critical doping density, additional dopants practically fill in the parallel conduction channel that sits in the...
Uniform versus delta doping in 1D heterostructures: an Exercise
This exercise is designed to demonstrate that delta doping leads to larger sheet electron density in the channel and it also allows for better control of the charge density in the channel region of High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs).
Bulk Band Structure: a Simulation Exercise
03 Aug 2008 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck
This simulation exercise teaches the students about band structure of indirect and direct bandgap materials, the optical gaps, the concept of the effective mass and the influence of spin-orbit coupling on the valence bandstructure. NSF
BJT - Simulation Exercise
This simulation exercise teaches the students the operation of BJT transistor, what is current gain and how one extracts current gain from the Gummel plot. It also provides output device characteristics from which students have to extract the Early voltage. Furthermore, it makes the students...
