About "poisson"--Band bending in semiconductors

"poisson" calculates and displays one-dimensional numerical solutions for the band bending and carrier concentrations in inhomogeneous semiconductors. It simulates both the pn-junction and the sub-gate region of the MISFET for a wide range of material parameters under both equilibrium and biased conditions.

"poisson" was programmed by Russ Thompson.
