Josephson Junction Diode
These mesh techniques were well utilized in modeling Josephson Junction Diodes (Josephson Effect), as these devices have very irregular shapes and therefore the ability to accurately model them becomes challenging.
The model was based around half of the original JJ, as the structure was not symmetric due to process variation. The contour of this shape was then extracted via matlab scripts. For proof of concept within two-dimensional space, this was mirrored and run through
. Due to this being a three-dimensional structure, this was the extent of two dimensional work with the JJ. This contour was then rotated about an axis to provide us with a three-dimensional structure. For a proof of concept, our initial structure was rotated using four points and provided us with a box shape. In later structures, structures were separated by material and rotated using enough points to provide it with a true circular shape.
