  • Transient simulation capability with an implicit time derivation method is a missing feature in deterministic Boltzmann equation solvers. The H-transformation, which is critical for the stable simulation of nanoscale devices, introduces difficulties for the transient simulation. In this work, the transient simulation of graphene sheets is reported. It is shown that simulation of homogeneous systems can be done without abandoning the H-transformation, as much as a specially designed discretization method is employed. The AC mobility and step response of the graphene sheet on the $SiO_2$ substrate are simulated.
