Is somebody of you doing full-band monte-carlo simulation on electronic devices ?
I am interested in this topic. I am also interested of simulation of photodetectors. Some people use an Los Alamos monte-carlo program, MCNP, to calculate the absorbed energy per time unit and area-unit. Is somebody using that ?
In bandstructrure I've been doing some EPM, but I've also looked at first principles simulation, DFT.
The purpose for doing bandstructure calculation, for you people that don't know about these stuff, is to get the correct effective masses for holes and electrones. Then through semi-classical monte-carlo simulation one can get the correct electron and hole mobilities by fitting some parameters in the montecarlo simulation to some measured experimental parameters.
Then you can simulate (more or less) an arbitrary electronic device.
