hi.. i am new to Silvaco. I am facing difficulty in plotting the final graph. I am trying to create a simple structure of a varistor which is almost similar to diode where the base is TiO2 and dopants used are SiO2, Bi2O3, Ta2O5 and WO3 which will be varied for different experiments. The size of the varistor is 5mm.
I would also like to know how can i remove Titanium from the structure.
Besides that, I would really like to know how to create an IV graph for this structure. Below is what I have done so far. (im not sure if what I have done is correct)
thanking u in advance for your help....
