Show HN: I made some transistor animations

https://brandonli.net/semisim/animations
2•stunningllama•50m ago
Hi HN, I made some animations of the most important kinds of transistors using my semiconductor simulation, details of which are on the page. I tried to make the visuals as realistic as possible while also aiming for clarity. If you want to go beyond the charge carriers and look at, for example, the electric field, you can do so in the simulation software. The desktop software also has less common devices like IBGTs and SCRs that have similar animations.

The last thread about my software was posted here about a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43942279
