Electron charge

1

Hi all! I’m new here. I took the code from the example, applied voltage to the gate, but the value of the electron concentration did not change (they seem to be nowhere except for the contacts). Have I done everything right?

Hi @denmais

I recommend plotting this as a logarithmic quantity. This would be done in the plotting tool. Alternatively, you can create a model, which is logarithmic in DEVSIM and plot that. Do see a field in the plot file named logElectrons?

grep -i loge testing/*
testing/mos_2d.py:    node_model(device=device, region=r, name="logElectrons", equation="log(Electrons)/log(10)")

Thanks a lot! I’m sorry for the long answer!
