2D vs 3D simulations and units.
Charge simulations can be 2D (one size component is 0) or 3D.
In 2D mode, the solver treats the geometry as a cross-section with
infinite extrusion depth. Extensive output quantities (current,
capacitance, resistance) are therefore reported per unit length
(\(\mu\text{m}\)). For example:
Current: \(\text{A}\) (3D) \(\rightarrow\) \(\text{A}/\mu\text{m}\) (2D)
Capacitance: \(\text{fF}\) (3D) \(\rightarrow\) \(\text{fF}/\mu\text{m}\) (2D)
Resistance: \(\Omega\) (3D) \(\rightarrow\) \(\Omega \cdot \mu\text{m}\) (2D)
Intensive quantities (potential, carrier concentration, electric field, energy bands) keep the same units regardless of dimensionality.
To convert a 2D result to a total device quantity, multiply by the physical device depth in micrometers.
