Abstract

In this paper we will present methods for the simulation of semiconductor devices. The basic physical model, extended for the simulation of hetero junction devices is discussed. To get an acceptable CPU time, vectorization and parallelization is used in the numerical solution methods. For a demonstration of some possibilities of the simulation program, we have simulated an HBT and an IPG-FET.
