Research theme about semiconductors involving programming

AI Thread Summary
A student is seeking research ideas for a physics course focused on semiconductors, specifically looking for programming-related themes. They express difficulty in finding a suitable topic despite consulting their professor. A suggestion is made to explore SPICE, a tool used for semiconductor modeling, referencing the textbook "Semiconductor Device Modeling with SPICE" by Antognetti and Massobrio as a valuable resource for potential projects.

Hello.

I'm currently taking a physics course that gives me the freedom to take any subject related to semiconductors and do some research on it, presenting it at the end of the semester. I know I want to do something related to programming, but I'm having a hard time finding a theme. Hence me creating this topic (talking to my professor has proven to not be very productive).

If you've ever done a work on the topic of semiconductors, which involved programming, I'd appreciate if you could give me an idea that I can work with!

Thanks ahead.
Kind regards,
Daniel

You could certainly do something SPICE related. There are many areas of semiconductor modeling that are related to SPICE. See for example the textbook:

"Semiconductor Device Modeling with SPICE" by Antognetti and Massobrio :smile:
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
