Magnetic

2D Magnetic Device Simulator

The Magnetic module enables the ATLAS device simulator to incorporate the effects of an externally applied magnetic field on the device behavior. The dynamics of the charge carrier motion are modified by the addition of the Lorentz force. This force is proportional to the vector product of the carrier velocity and the applied magnetic flux density vector.

Key Features

• A uniform external magnetic field can be specified
• Drift-diffusion equations are modified by the presence of the Lorentz force
• Hall Voltages can be calculated
• Current deflection caused by magnetic field can be observed
• Magnetic field sensors can be simulated
• Effect of stray magnetic fields on device performance can be modeled
