To simulate a semiconductor substrate with a metal coating in Comsol, the specific calculations depend on the desired outcomes, such as DC properties or I-V characteristics. The presence of a Schottky barrier is relevant when dealing with metal on a semiconductor. Setting up the model is straightforward, but challenges arise if the metal film's thickness must be considered, requiring smaller mesh sizes. If the semiconductor can be approximated as an insulator, the complexity may decrease. Understanding the appropriate boundary conditions is crucial for accurate simulation of the semiconductor/metal heterojunction.
