Abstract :
We have developed a Boltzmann equation solver for two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor devices based on the spherical harmonics expansion and the maximum entropy dissipation scheme for stabilization. The large system of equations is partitioned according to the order of the spherical harmonics and solved by a memory efficient blockwise Gauss-Seidel method. Results are presented for a 2D NPN Si bipolar junction transistor.
