The VECTOR line

Syntax

  Vector plotted-quantity control

Description

The VECTOR line plots vector quantities over an area of the device defined by the previous PLOT.2D line.

Parameters

plotted-quantity is one of:

  J.Conduc   =  logical   Conduction current
  J.Electr   =  logical   Electron current
  V.Electr   =  logical   Electron velocity
  J.Hole     =  logical   Hole current
  V.Hole     =  logical   Hole velocity
  J.Displa   =  logical   Displacement current
  J.Total    =  logical   Total current
  E.field    =  logical   Electric field

control

  LOgarithm  =  logical   (default is false)
  MInimum    =  real      (default is 0)
  MAximum    =  real      (default is 0)
  Scale      =  real      (default is 1)
  Clipfact   =  real      (default is 0.1)
  LIne.type  =  integer   (default is 1)

By default, vectors are scaled linearly by the maximum magnitude of the quantity of interest over the grid; alternatively LOGARITHM specifies logarithmically-scaled vectors, scaled by the minimum (non-zero) magnitude. The minimum and maximum values - both of which are printed during execution of a plot - can be set using MINIMUM and MAXIMUM so that two bias conditions or devices can be plotted with the same scale. SCALE a constant scale factor to be multiply all magnitudes by. CLIPFACT is a threshold below which vectors are not plotted. LINE.TYPE specifies the vector line type for plotting.

Examples

Plot electron and hole currents over a device:

  PLOT.2D BOUN NO.FILL
  VECTOR J.ELEC LINE=2
  VECTOR J.HOLE LINE=3
