Abstract :
We present two-dimensional numerical solutions of the coupled, nonlinear, partial differential equations governing the electric potential, carrier drift, diffusion, generation, and recombination in a finite semiconductor slab in the presence of a magnetic field. This enables device modeling for general geometries, doping levels, and injection conditions, where the effect of the magnetic field cannot be expressed simply in terms of Hall voltage, Lorentz deflection, or magnetoconcentration.
