The Monte Carlo method for the solution of charge transport in semiconductors with applications to covalent materials
Abstract
This review presents in a comprehensive and tutorial form the basic principles of the Monte Carlo method, as applied to the solution of transport problems in semiconductors. Sufficient details of a typical Monte Carlo simulation have been given to allow the interested reader to create his own Monte Carlo program, and the method has been briefly compared with alternative theoretical techniques. Applications have been limited to the case of covalent semiconductors. Particular attention has been paid to the evaluation of the integrated scattering probabilities, for which final expressions are given in a form suitable for their direct use. A collection of results obtained with Monte Carlo simulations is presented, with the aim of showing the power of the method in obtaining physical insights into the processes under investigation. Special technical aspects of the method and updated microscopic models have been treated in some appendixes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
