SIDENS

Type: Function
Description: Silicon Intrinsic Density Command: Calculates the intrinsic density of silicon as a function of
temperature, x
If x is a unit object, it must reduce to a pure temperature, and the density is returned as a unit
T
object with units of 1/cm
If x is a real number, its units are assumed to be K, and the density is returned as a real number
T
with implied units of 1/cm
x must be between 0 and 1685 K.

Input/Output:

SIGMA

CAS: For given variable y, calculate discrete antiderivative G of given function f : G(y + 1) – G(y) =
f(y).

SIGMAVX

CAS: For current variable x, calculate discrete antiderivative G of function f : G(x + 1) – G(x) = f(x).

SIGN

Type: Function
Description: Sign Function: Returns the sign of a real number argument, the sign of the numerical part of a
unit object argument, or the unit vector in the direction of a complex number argument.
For real number and unit object arguments, the sign is defined as +1 for positive arguments, –1
for negative arguments. In exact mode, the sign for argument 0 is undefined (?). In approximate
mode, the sign for argument 0 is 0.
