Abstract Finding the scalar potential from the Poisson equation is a common, yet challenging problem in semiconductor modeling. One of the central problems in traditional mesh-based methods is the assignment of charge to the regular mesh imposed for the discretisation. In order to avoid this problem, we create a mesh-free algorithm which starts by assigning each mesh point to each particle present in the problem. This algorithm is based on a Fourier series expansion coupled with point matching. An efficient algorithm for repeatedly solving the Poisson problem for moving charge distributions is presented. We demonstate that More >
