Shockley-Read-Hall Windows
1. Overview
Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) windows allow the user to define a rectangular region where the default carrier lifetimes for SRH recombination can be adjusted. Within this window, the carrier lifetimes are scaled by a constant factor, providing precise control over the recombination dynamics in specific regions of the device.
2. Usage Instructions
To define an SRH window:
- From the Menu, select
Define->Window->Shockley-Read-Hall.
- Use your cursor and mouse buttons to define a rectangular doping window.
- Once the window's shape has been defined the SRH window's properties dialog box will appear. Use this dialog to set the window's properties.
