Dear Sir\/ Madam,<\/p>\n
I am using Lumerical Charge for the first time. To replicate the results of a research paper, I want to add a new material, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), to the material database. In the paper, ITO is considered as a semiconductor, and the following material properties are provided: (i) DC permittivity, (ii) Work function, (iii) Effective mass of electrons and holes, (iv) Mobility of electrons and holes, (v) Band gap, and so on.<\/p>\n
However, when I input these parameters and run the simulations, I encounter a Job Error. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that each parameter, such as the effective mass of electrons or holes, is associated with a formula. It appears that the coefficients within these formulas need to be appropriately adjusted to balance the equation.<\/p>\n
For example, for silicon (Si), the effective mass of an electron is 1.18, and the corresponding formula is m(T) = m(0) + α*T + β*T^2. The left-hand side value of 1.18 must be balanced with the right-hand side by selecting appropriate coefficients α<\/span><\/span>, β<\/span><\/span>, and m(0)<\/span><\/span>. Similarly, for each parameter, there is a formula with coefficients that need to be adjusted to balance the equation on both sides.<\/p>\n My question is: How should I determine these coefficients? Should they be adjusted arbitrarily, or are there specific literature or guidelines I should refer to obtain accurate values?<\/p>\n Could you please provide some guidance on this matter?<\/p>\n Kind regards,
