Abstract
After introducing the general methodology of the Monte Carlo algorithm and reviewing some of the essential features of semiconductor devices, we are now ready to discuss in detail the application of the Monte Carlo simulation to semiconductor devices. Although every specific device presents peculiar aspects that make its modelling not easily extendable to other devices, it is nevertheless possible to give some general guidelines and define specific blocks that are common to all simulations [1].
