[SI-LIST] Re: Full device simulator?

Stuart, 
 
Sounds like my PhD work(1998). But, I used FDTD(finite-difference time-domain) 
approach to solve interaction of drift-diffusion charges and propagating 
fields. The package is not commercialized yet.
 
I am familiar with finite-element-ish works on either charge transport or field 
propagation as separate subjects; none that addressed charge transport and 
field propagation together in a unified setting.
 
Please let me know if you come across any, I am curious too.
 
Good luck,
Sainath

Hello --

I am looking around for full semiconductor device simulators. I need
something which does finite-element modeling of a structure, and
incorporates the effects of carrier drift & diffusion, as well as models
the evolution of the E&M field around the device. I want to use it to
model non-linear transmission line devices, where you need to worry about
wave propagation as well as carriers moving around.

What commercial pacakges are available for this kind of work? Are there
any research-grade (i.e. university projects) simulators available also?

Thanks,

Stuart
