Abstract
We show how PISCES-like semiconductor models can be joined non-invasiv ely to finite difference time domain models for the calculation of cou pled external electromagnetics. The method involves ''tricking'' the s tandard current boundary condition for the device model into accepting an effective parallel external capacitance. For nearly steady state d evice conditions we show the results for a transmission line-coupled P ISCES diode to agree well with those for an ideal diode.
