A Multiparticle Drift-Diffusion Model and its Application to Organic and Inorganic Electronic Device Simulation

In this paper, we present a novel generalized multiparticle drift-diffusion (mp-DD) model capable to overcome some limitations imposed by the classic drift-diffusion model by taking into account multiple carrier populations. We demonstrate the model’s ability and flexibility in simulating systems from different application contexts. We conclude that the developed mp-DD model allows investigating a wide range of complex mechanisms, such as subband charge transport calculation or intersystem crossing (ISC), which are crucial for the understanding and design of organic and inorganic semiconductor devices largely employed for both photovoltaics and light emitting applications.
