TY - GEN A1 - Kornhuber, Ralf A1 - Roitzsch, Rainer T1 - Self Adaptive Computation of the Breakdown Voltage of Planar pn-Junctions with Multistep Field Plates. N2 - The breakdown voltage highly depends on the electric field in the depletion area whose computation is the most time consuming part of the simulation. We present a self adaptive Finite Element Method which reduces dramatically the required computation time compared to usual Finite Difference Methods. A numerical example illustrates the efficiency and reliability of the algorithm.
