As far as I know, it's not possible to do it directly. You should define the discrete energy levels created by the QDs with adequate parameters like energy position, capture cross section, density, etc, depending on the materials. I'm not sure if the model considers interaction between the introduced levels, i.e. carrier transitions, a crucial issue. You can find the full definition of traps in the ATLAS or Victory Device manuals. You also may be interested to check this link, it's about a webinar given on past December by Silvaco:

Good luck,

Thanks a lot :)

In this conference paper they have tried something like that but I don't know whether they have used any quantum effect model or not.

Thanks imroze for your reply...i already went through this paper..since they did it using silvaco..it means that it is possible..but there was  nothing specifically about the models used...

Do you find anything?

Hey Amin....

How would you simulate Quantum dot solar cell on silvaco, can you please guide me...

may you help me if you find a specific answer for your question?
