TMA MEDICI solves Poisson's equation and the electron and hole current continuity equations to simulate diodes, bipolar transistors, MOSFETs, JFETs, MESFETs, etc. Steady-state, transient, and ac small-signal analyses can be performed. Carrier heating and velocity overshoot effects can be treated by solving energy balance equations self-consistently with the other device equations. Arbitrary device geometries with both planar and nonplanar surface topographies can be handled with MEDICI's non-uniform simulation grid.
