Description
Optoelectronics has become an important part of our lives. Wherever light is used to transmit information, tiny semiconductor devices
are needed to transfer electrical current into optical signals and vice versa. Examples include light emitting diodes in radios and
other appliances, photodetectors in elevator doors and digital cameras, and laser diodes that transmit phone calls through glass fibers.
Such optoelectronic devices take advantage of sophisticated interactions between electrons and light. Nanometer scale semiconductor
structures are often at the heart of modern optoelectronic devices. Their shrinking size and increasing complexity make computer simulation
an important tool to design better devices that meet ever rising perfomance requirements. The current need to apply advanced design
software in optoelectronics follows the trend observed in the 1980's with simulation software for silicon devices. Today, software for
technology computer-aided design (TCAD) and electronic design automation (EDA) represents a fundamental part of the silicon industry.
In optoelectronics, advanced commercial device software has emerged recently and it is expected to play an increasingly important role
in the near future. This book will enable students, device engineers, and researchers to more effectively use advanced design software
in optoelectronics.
Audience
The intended audience are students, engineers and scientists who need to design and analyze advanced optoelectronic devices. Many of them
are members of organizations like IEEE-LEOS, OSA, SPIE, and APS.
