| Title | Finite Difference Method Simulation of Semiconductor Electronic Metadevices |
| Summary | Electronic metadevices, a brand-new type of radiofrequency (RF) devices, leverage subwavelength manipulation of the electric field through interdigitated strip structures. Electronic metadevices outperform conventional RF components, such as Schottky diodes and field-effect transistors (FETs), by offering superior cutoff frequency, faster switching speeds, and enhanced integration capabilities. A critical aspect of electronic metadevice design is the optimization of structural parameters, including the dimensions and number of interdigitated strips, which significantly influence device performance. To facilitate this optimization, it is essential to develop a robust 2D simulation program in MATLAB. This simulation program will employ the 2D Finite Difference Method (FDM) to numerically solve the partial differential equations (PDEs) governing the device's electrical behavior under varying geometrical configurations. By providing detailed insights into field distributions and device performance, this numerical simulation program will serve as a powerful tool for refining metadevice designs, enhancing their performance, and accelerating the development of next-generation electronic metadevices. In this project, student can: Gain a deep understanding of the working principles and behavior of state-of-the-art electronic metadevices. Develop useful numerical simulation skills for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). Pre-requisites: Student should have basic Matlab programing skills and mathematic foundations on numerical method. The candidate who has electrical and semiconductor background is preferable.
