How to Mesh in 2D TCAD
Meshing for process in ATHENA or electrical characterisation in ATLAS is one of the biggest challenges that a user faces. Poor meshing in both ATHENA and ATLAS can lead to simulation failures. Poor meshing can also lead to inaccurate electrical results, which is potentially even worse. The effect that the mesh can have on the electrical results has been illustrated in [1]. An optimum mesh will have a sufficient number of points to ensure accuracy yet it will not have an excessive number of points as this will lead to an increase in simulation time.
