Could you build this?
No An interactive silicon device physics sandbox requires numerical simulation of semiconductor physics, including solving Poisson's and drift-diffusion equations in real-time.
What it would actually take: Requires WebGL/WebGPU or WASM-compiled C++/Rust to perform finite-difference or finite-element numerical methods modeling carrier transport, recombination, and electric fields in real time. The core challenge is numerical stability and performance of nonlinear PDE solvers across semiconductor junctions. It requires specialized knowledge in solid-state device physics and scientific computing.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
