User's Manual for DIODE

Abstract

The DIODE computer program at the Harry Diamond Laboratories (HDL) is used to compute current and voltage characteristics in semiconductors or gases. This user's manual serves two main purposes: (1) to document the present DIODE computer program in preparation for proposed improvements and (2) to allow others to use the program without personal instruction. Included are a brief history of the origin of the DIODE computer program, input data requirements, description of the computer code, output, and a discussion of the material parameters. Detailed instructions are included for the use of a remote IBM terminal on the Harry Diamond Laboratories site. Also included is a list of over 100 papers, reports, and oral presentations based on the DIODE program.
