Abstract: Abstract The correct design of a numerical grid is crucial to the success of device modelling. This chapter describes how a grid may be designed to account for the particular features of, in particular, the MESFET and the HEMT. An initial grid is assigned to the basic structure of the device by taking into account the positions of the corners of contacts, recesses, and layer structure. This is achieved with the use of structures in C++. It is shown how extra grid points and grid lines can be assigned using pointer allocation to form a basic initial grid, and how grid lines and points can be allocated and de-allocated as the device iterations progress. Sections of code illustrate the main processes.
