Adds a new surface recombination boundary condition to the CHARGE solver [Boundary Conditions (Electrical Simulation)]. A CHARGE solver region must be present in the objects tree before a surface recombination boundary condition can be added.

|---|---|
|
addsurfacerecombinationbc; |
Adds a new surface recombination boundary condition to the CHARGE solver. This function does not return any data. |
Example 1
The following script commands will add a surface recombination boundary condition to the CHARGE solver (already present in the objects tree) and print all available properties of the boundary condition.
addsurfacerecombinationbc;
?set;
Example 2
The following script commands will add a surface recombination boundary condition to the existing CHARGE solver and assign it to the interface (surfaces) between silicon and silicon dioxide. It will set the surface recombination velocity of electrons and holes to 100 cm/sec.
addsurfacerecombinationbc;
set("name","Si_SiO2");
set("surface type","material:material");
set("material 1","Si (Silicon)");
set("material 2","SiO2 (Glass) - Sze");
set("electron velocity",100e-2); # m/sec
set("hole velocity",100e-2); # m/sec
set("apply to majority carriers",1);
The "apply to majority carriers" option should be enabled when modeling surface recombination at semiconductor-oxide or semiconductor-semiconductor interfaces.
|
NOTE: The 'materials' folder in the objects tree must already contain the materials used in the script commands to set up the boundary condition. |
Example 3
The following script commands will add a surface recombination boundary condition to the interface (surfaces) between silicon and aluminum. It will set the surface recombination velocity of electrons and holes to 1e7 cm/sec.
addsurfacerecombinationbc;
set("name","Si_Al");
set("surface type","material:material");
set("material 1","Si (Silicon)");
set("material 2","Al (Aluminium) - CRC");
set("electron velocity",1e5); # m/sec
set("hole velocity",1e5); # m/sec
set("apply to majority carriers",0);
The "apply to majority carriers" option should be disabled when modeling surface recombination at semiconductor-metal interfaces.
