Computer Simulations of Edge Effects in a Small-Area Mesa N-P Junction Diode: Preprint

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

In this work, computer simulations are used to determine the influence of edge conditions on the overall performance of mesa diodes under dark and illuminated conditions. In particular, we examine the effect of edge shape on the I-V characteristics of the diode.
