Research theme about semiconductors involving programming

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the intersection of semiconductors and programming, specifically seeking research themes for a physics course. Daniel, the original poster, is looking for programming-related topics within semiconductor research. A suggestion was made to explore SPICE, a simulation program used for modeling semiconductor devices, referencing the textbook "Semiconductor Device Modeling with SPICE" by Antognetti and Massobrio as a valuable resource.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of semiconductor physics
  • Familiarity with SPICE simulation software
  • Knowledge of programming concepts related to device modeling
  • Ability to interpret technical literature in semiconductor research
NEXT STEPS
  • Research SPICE simulation techniques for semiconductor modeling
  • Explore the textbook "Semiconductor Device Modeling with SPICE" by Antognetti and Massobrio
  • Investigate programming languages commonly used in semiconductor simulations, such as Python or MATLAB
  • Examine case studies of semiconductor device modeling projects
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics or engineering programs, researchers in semiconductor technology, and programmers interested in device modeling and simulation methodologies.

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:
