Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of multi-physics mechanical behavior prediction technology for piezoelectric semiconductors, and specifically relates to a method for predicting the multi-physics coupled mechanical behavior of piezoelectric semiconductor devices. Background Technology
[0002] Piezoelectric semiconductor devices are a class of semiconductor devices that utilize the piezoelectric effect to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy or vice versa. These devices can be used to fabricate optoelectronics, electronics, microelectronics, integrated circuits, chips, memory, and microwave devices, and have broad application potential in energy, communications, aerospace, and healthcare. With increasing demands for energy sustainability and smart technology, piezoelectric semiconductor technology will continue to be driven by research and application to meet evolving market needs.
[0003] Piezoelectric semiconductor devices often involve the coupling of multiple physical fields, including mechanical, electric, and thermal fields. Understanding the interactions between these physical fields is crucial for establishing multi-field coupling computational models. Currently, solving multi-field coupling nonlinear problems in piezoelectric semiconductors faces the following difficulties: (1) Piezoelectric semiconductor devices are simultaneously affected by electric, strain, and temperature fields, which are coupled with each other, leading to complex physical phenomena and nonlinear behaviors; (2) The nonlinear effects of piezoelectric semiconductor devices become more significant under multi-field coupling, such as geometric nonlinearity and nonlinear carrier transport, which require complex numerical methods to handle; (3) Due to the complexity of multi-field coupling nonlinear problems, numerical simulations often require high-precision numerical methods and large-scale computational resources, which places high demands on computational power and algorithms. Traditional multi-field coupling computational methods typically use finite element analysis (FEA) to establish physical models. This method can describe simple geometries and physical field distributions, but it is difficult to handle multi-physics coupling, nonlinearity, and multi-scale problems of piezoelectric semiconductor devices, which are piezoelectric dielectric devices. Furthermore, based on existing solvers, it requires a large amount of computational resources and time, sometimes resulting in unsolvable problems. Furthermore, finite element models require verification with actual test data, which may be difficult to obtain or too costly in complex systems. When the physical model and data are complex, traditional Physical Information Neural Networks (PINNs) suffer from low computational efficiency and accuracy, as well as inaccurate predictions, in handling high-dimensional multi-field nonlinear calculations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient computational method to solve the problem of multi-physics coupled nonlinear mechanical analysis of piezoelectric semiconductors.
