Didactic simulation of a metal oxide semiconductor structure

Abstract

In this paper, we present an interactive simulation of a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor structure, based on a qualitative approach. The code is written in ActionScript / Flash to enjoy all the benefits of this technology in the multimedia field. In addition, our simulation combines theoretical and practical concepts on the same graphical interface: it shows the impact of physical and electrical parameters on the behavior of a MOS structure or a transistor TMOS. Moreover, it provides the physical reasons of the parameters influence that can serve to evaluate the relevance of approximations commonly used. This simulation is applied in engineering education.
