Electron Transport in Semiconductor Superlattices
In this paper, we rigorously derive a diffusion model for semiconductor superlattices, starting from a kinetic description of electron transport at the microscopic scale. Electron transport in the superlattice is modelled by a collisionless Boltzmann equation subject to a periodic array of localized scatters modeling the periodic heterogeneities of the material. The limit of a large number of p...
متن کاملA Review of Hydrodynamic and Energy-Transport Models for Semiconductor Device Simulation
Since Stratton published his famous paper four decades ago, various transport models have been proposed which account for the average carrier energy or temperature in one way or another. The need for such transport models arose because the traditionally used drift-diffusion model cannot capture nonlocal effects which gained increasing importance in modern miniaturized semiconductor devices. In ...
متن کاملCharacterization of electron transport at high fields in silicon-on-insulator devices: a Monte Carlo study
The high field transport regime of single gate (SG) SOI MOSFETs has been the subject of an in-depth characterization. To study this, we have used a Monte Carlo simulator where all the major features involved in the description of the transport of state-of-the-art SOI devices are taken into account: quantization, non-parabolic band structure, phonon and surface roughness scattering. It has been ...
متن کاملLimitations of Hydrodynamic and Energy-Transport Models
Accurate description of nonlocal hot-carrier phenomena in modern semiconductor devices is becoming very important considering the rapid reduction of the feature size. Frequently used carrier transport models are the traditional drift-diffusion model and extended models which also consider the average carrier energy as an independent solution variable. While the drift-diffusion model is not capa...
متن کاملElectron Transport in Silicon Dioxide at Intermediate and High Electric Fields
A semiclassical Monte Carlo technique is employed to simulate the steady-state electron transport in silicon dioxide at intermediate and high electric fields. The electronic band-structure is modelled by a single parabolic, by a single nonparabolic as well as an isotropic four-band model. We find that the electronic behavior of silicon dioxide is mainly influenced by a single nonparabolic condu...
