poor convergence in MEMS electromechanical switch
Greetings: This is a grossly simplified form of a 3D model I'm doing of an electromechanical switch using the MEMS module. There's a cantilever which is at zero bias, a "gate" electrode which is biased...
View Articlehow to realize convergence in highly doped semiconductor in COMSOL 4.4
I meet the convergence problem when modeling highly doped semiconductor in COMSOL. What I model is a P-n heterojuction, the concentration of the acceptor is 1e18/cm3, the concentration of the donor is...
