This paper deals with the electron transport and heat generation in a Resonant Tunneling Diode semiconductor device. A new electrothermal Monte Carlo method is introduced. The method couples a Monte Carlo solver of the Boltzmann-Wigner transport equation with a steady-state solution of the heat diffusion equation. This methodology provides an accurate microscopic description of the spatial distribution of self-heating and its effect on the detailed nonequilibrium carrier dynamics.

Abstract
This paper deals with the electron transport and heat generation in a Resonant Tunneling Diode semiconductor device. A new electrothermal Monte Carlo method is introduced. The method couples a Monte Carlo solver of the Boltzmann-Wigner transport equation with a steady-state solution of the heat diffusion equation. This methodology provides an accurate microscopic description of the spatial distribution of self-heating and its effect on the detailed nonequilibrium carrier dynamics.File in questo prodotto:
