Overview of the User’s Guide
The Semiconductor Module User’s Guide gets you started with semiconductor modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics. The information in this user’s guide is specific to the Semiconductor Module. Instructions on how to use COMSOL Multiphysics in general are included in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual.
As detailed in the section Where Do I Access the Documentation and Application Libraries? this information can also be searched from the COMSOL Multiphysics software Help menu.
