In this thesis, we analyse the impact-ionization mechanism and build up 1D and 2D impact-ionization circuit model. In 2D environment, we study the two- dimensional x-y directions distributions in electric field and current density. The impact-ionization mechanism causes the junction avalanche breakdown. Therefore, after building up the 1D and 2D impact-ionization model, we use 1D and 2D PN diode and BJT for verification. In device application, we use the power device thristor to observe impact-ionization effects. To present complete SCR characteristics, we use the load line concept with modulating applied bias to find the holding current. Last, in SCR simulation, we face the numerical computing challenge, and we use the regrid method to enhance the program convergence. |
