I was wondering if anyone has experience on how to model MSM structure in Semiconductor and Wave Optics Multiphysics. MSM simulation on either semiconductor or wave optics physics is straight forward but in it becomes a challenge in Multiphysics. That is due to the metal layer where semiconductor properties of the metals are not given and are not defined. Alternatively, metal contact sub-node is being used instead in semiconductor physics where work function can be added along with adding WKB tunneling for the interface. That is all we need for semiconductor part, but the metal contact sub-node doesn’t have optical properties as well as thickness variable. Any suggestion for this challenge much appreciated.
