I am trying to simulate an OLED via Atlas SilvacoI want to know how to convert light power (watt/um) into luminance (cd/m2) or the syntax to do that in Atlas silvaco.THANKS

Once you get the units straightened out (watt/um does not appear to be a valid unit of luminance), try this site:

(unless that "um" term is micron, indicating wavelength. then you need to specify the bandwidth to get the total power. rather a can-of-worms i would say)

Cheers,
Tom

Thank you for your reply
this site did not work (https://app.knovel.com/uc/)
for the conversion there is an integration over the wavelength which must be carried out over the visible spectrum. but I can't insert this integration into the Atlas Silvaco code!!!

Site works fine for me using Google Chrome in Windows 10 Home.

Works for me as well with Windows 10 and Firefox.

@halaoui12 -- maybe some Internet problem with some blocking by your country?

FAQ: Help using Atlas Silvaco to simulate an OLED

What is Atlas Silvaco and how is it used for OLED simulation?

Atlas Silvaco is a device simulation software that allows users to model and analyze the electrical and optical properties of semiconductor devices, including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). It is used to simulate various physical phenomena in OLEDs, such as charge transport, recombination, and light emission, enabling researchers to optimize device performance and design.

What are the key parameters to set when simulating an OLED in Atlas Silvaco?

When simulating an OLED in Atlas Silvaco, key parameters to set include the material properties (e.g., bandgap, mobility, and dielectric constant), layer thicknesses, doping concentrations, boundary conditions, and applied voltages. Additionally, defining the recombination mechanisms and the injection barriers at the interfaces is crucial for accurate simulation results.

How can I model the organic layers in an OLED using Atlas Silvaco?

To model the organic layers in an OLED using Atlas Silvaco, you can define each layer as a separate region with specific material properties. Use the 'material' command to assign organic materials to each layer, and specify parameters such as electron and hole mobilities, energy levels, and thickness. It's important to accurately represent the interfaces between different layers to capture the device's behavior.

What types of output can I expect from an OLED simulation in Atlas Silvaco?

From an OLED simulation in Atlas Silvaco, you can expect various types of output, including current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, electric field distributions, charge carrier densities, recombination rates, and light emission profiles. These outputs help in understanding the device performance and identifying areas for optimization.

What troubleshooting steps should I take if my OLED simulation does not converge?

If your OLED simulation does not converge, consider the following troubleshooting steps: check the mesh resolution to ensure it is fine enough for the device structure, verify that all material parameters are correctly defined, and ensure that boundary conditions are properly set. Additionally, review the physical models being used and simplify them if necessary, or adjust the simulation settings such as the maximum number of iterations and convergence criteria.
