Electronic states in semiconductor nanostructures and upscaling to semi-classical models

Abstract

Nanostructures are one of the basic features of quantum electronic semiconductor devices. In order to cover quantum effects in semiconductor device simulation, one has to compute the states of the acting electrons and one has to incorporate adequate information about these electronic states into the device simulation tools, which usually operate on a semi-classical level. © 2006 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
