Physical and Numerically Stable Linvill-Lump Compact Model of the <italic>pn</italic>-Junction

We present a compact model of the pn-junction for power device analysis using a physically based and numerically stable version of the approach proposed by Linvill in the 1950s. Problems with the original Linvill formulation have been eliminated by using quasi-Fermi potentials instead of mobile carr...
