Moment Equations with Maximum Entropy Closurefor Carrier Transport in Semiconductor Devices:Validation in Bulk Silicon

[摘要] Balance equations based on the moment method for the transport of electrons in siliconsemiconductors are presented. The energy band is assumed to be described by the Kanedispersion relation. The closure relations have been obtained by employing the maximumentropy principle.The validity of the constitutive equations for fluxes and production terms of thebalance equations has been checked with a comparison to detailed Monte Carlosimulations in the case of bulk silicon.
