Abstract
Computer simulation of the electrical and optical properties of semiconductor devices has been became as an essential tool for developing new device as well as for improving existing device. This presentation describes applications of physical device simulation: (1) design optimization of power MOSFET, which is single crystalline based silicon semiconductor device, for cryogenic temperature application and (2) two-dimensional device simulation of amorphous silicon based solar cell to develop novel photovoltaic device with high efficiency.
