PC1Dmod 6.2

PC1Dmod 6.2 is an unofficial, modified version of PC1D.

PC1Dmod 6.2 has a similar user interface to PC1D but it extends the device physics by

  1. implementing Fermi–Dirac statistics, which is relevant in regions of high doping like solar cell emitters;
  2. adding a list of state-of-the-art models for c-Si, including models for injection-dependent band-gap narrowing, carrier mobility, intrinsic recombination, and more;
  3. updating the numerical constrictions and node density to fit better with modern computers.

PC1Dmod 6.2 can be used with a simple configuration file to specify which physical models to use. The parameter files are backwards compatible with previous PC1D versions, and by selecting Boltzmann statistics and the original PC1D models, the program gives the same results as PC1D 5.9. The extensions have been successfully verified against Sentaurus and EDNA, but not for all possible scenarios, so use them with care. Please send bugs and suggestions to halvard.haug@gmail.com.

 

cmd-PC1D 6.2

cmd-PC1D 6.2 is a command-line version of PC1Dmod 6.2.

It uses the same physics kernel but runs only from a command line, thus adding flexibility for users who want to perform simulation within a programming script.

cmd-PC1D 6.2 is the basis for a new graphical user interface called "PC1D for Matlab".

 

PC1Dmod 6.2 and cmd-PC1D 6.2 can be run on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. Mac and Linux are not supported.
