Alternating direction implicit (ADI) method

ADI method uses two time steps in two dimension to update the quantities between t and t+t. During first t/2, the integration sweeps along one direction (x direction) and the other direction (y direction) is fixed. The temporary quantities are updated at t+t/2. With these updated quantities, ADI method integrates the continuity equation along y direction with fixed x direction between t+t/2 and t+t.

Discretized flux can be obtained by Sharfetter-Gummel method.jijixjix,i,j,jx,i nn ,1,,,5.0

Poisson’s eq. (1) ep nneV )( 0

Poisson equation is solved with a successive over relation (SOR) method. The electric field is taken at time t when the continuity equations are integrated between t and t+t. Time is integrated by semi-implicit method in our code. The electric field in the integration of the continuity equation between t and t+t is not the field at time t, but rather a prediction of the electric field at time t+t. The semi-implicit integration of Poisson equation is followed as

Density correction by electric field change between t and t+t

This Poisson’s eq can be discriminated to x and y directions, and written in matrix form using the five-point formula in two dimensions.
