I have modeled a semiconductor resistance to which i have applied a small signal voltage varying from 0 volts to 26 mV. by using the option of sub domain integration , i integrated the total normal current density to evaluate the small signal current. Now i would like to calculate the impedance. How can i achieve this?

Hi

if you have the voltage, and you integrate the current over the wire section you sould get te impedance by the ratio of V/I, but take care if you have complex values to get the right formula

Good luck

I see that when i increase the frequency , the current is constantly increasing i.e. the impedance is constantly reducing which implies that there must be a capacitive component in the impedance. so i expect a phase lead in the current w.r.t to the voltage. is there a way by which i can see the current values? or plot the phase of the current ?

Hi

3.5 is getting old in my mind, you might need to turn on the "might produce complex values" in the solver section
