This book provides a thorough introduction to, and review of, the modelling of semiconductor devices using the Monte Carlo particle method. Beginning with a review of the essential physics of solid-state devices and electron transport, Dr Moglestue then explains the particle modelling technique with applications to semiconductor devices using illustrative examples from actual experience. The author draws on a wealth of experience in the field to provide a tutorial and reference source for device physicists, electronics engineers and graduate students wishing to apply Monte Carlo techniques. INDICE: Preface. The foundation of modelling. Essential crystallography and crystal dynamics. Electrons. Lattice-electron interaction. The Monte Carlo method. Simulation of bulk properties of solids. The field equation. Steady state simulation of devices. Alternating current, microwaves. Composite material devices. Ambipolar devices. Noise. Computers, scope of modelling.
