Expand description

Carrier concentration calculations for a semiconductor.

Computes intrinsic carrier concentration, doped carrier densities, and Fermi level positions.

Fields§

§band: BandStructure

Band structure of the material.

§temperature_k: f64

Temperature in Kelvin.

§nd: f64

Donor concentration in cm^-3.

§na: f64

Acceptor concentration in cm^-3.

Implementations§

Source§

impl CarrierConcentration

Source

pub fn new(band: BandStructure, temperature_k: f64, nd: f64, na: f64) -> Self

Create a new carrier concentration model.

Source

pub fn intrinsic_concentration(&self) -> f64

Intrinsic carrier concentration ni in cm^-3.

ni = sqrt(Nc * Nv) * exp(-Eg / (2 * k_B * T))

Source

pub fn fermi_dirac_half(eta: f64) -> f64

Fermi-Dirac integral of order 1/2 (approximation).

F_{1/2}(eta) approximated using the Joyce-Dixon formula.

Source

pub fn electron_concentration(&self) -> f64

Electron concentration n0 in cm^-3 (assuming complete ionization).

Source

pub fn hole_concentration(&self) -> f64

Hole concentration p0 in cm^-3.

Source

pub fn doping_type(&self) -> DopingType

Doping type of the material.

Source

pub fn fermi_level_shift(&self) -> f64

Fermi level position relative to intrinsic Fermi level in eV.

Ef - Ei = k_B * T * ln(n0 / ni)

Source

pub fn compensation_ratio(&self) -> f64

Compensation ratio: min(Nd, Na) / max(Nd, Na).

Source

pub fn debye_length(&self) -> f64

Debye length in cm.
