Power semiconductor device modelling dedicated to circuit simulation

The aim of this paper is to recall the problematics of circuit simulation in the field of power electronics and to critically review recent approaches to semiconductor device modelling for that purpose. In particular, as far as hardware problems are concerned, the discussion puts forward the need for physics-based models taking into account the distributed nature of charge carrier transport.
