Abstract

This paper presents the concept of a physical-model description language, a high level modeling language far semiconductor device simulation. Two major issues in its implementation are presented with their algorithmic implementation. These are the concept of automatically assigning mesh position to device based data (automatic discretization) and the automatic generation of the analytical Jacobian by symbolic means
