I want to obtain the electric field lines to describe the electric field distribution in python/matlab for further claculation.
Dear David Su ,
To visualize the electric field line you can follow the recommendation given in the following link concerning Silvaco:https://silvaco.com/simulation-standard/hints-tips-and-solutions-july-august-september-2016-q1/
Best wishes
Dear David,
You simply find the lines of EF: E(x,y) by 2D numerical differential of the potential distribution (E=-grad(V.) ), where V(x,y) is the potential distribution you get from Silvaco. Therefore choose vector plots (of Ex and Ey).
A good idea to identify where electric field is high or low with zero effort is to observe the contours of V(x,y). When contours of constant values of V(x,y) are very adjacent to each other, then the electric field is high, and vice versa.
Best wishes. Good luck!
Dear David Su ,
It's simple. Just obtain the cut plane view from the 3D structure. And then you can easily obtain various quantities(electric field, potential, Fermi level, current density, etc) by opening the cut plane structure in 2D plot viewer(where you open the Id-Vg curves).
