Title
A New Pedagogical Approach for Solid State Electronic Device Education: The Variational Thermodynamic Technique for Modeling the Variational Thermodynamic Technique for Modeling
Synopsis
A new pedagogical approach for solid state electronic device education is presented. We developed and applied a modeling technique to Trench Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (TIGBT). We compare our model results with measured capacitance-voltage characteristics which confirm that our technique is effective in modeling solid state devices.
