چکیده
Device modeling of novel semiconductor devices requires adapted physical models which include quantum mechanical effects. The quantum hydrodynamic as well as the quantum drift diffusion model offers effective possibilities for the simulation of nanoscale devices, particularly if tunneling processes appear. The models can be implemented effectively in conventional device simulation systems.

In this paper, we propose a unified framework for Quantum-corrected drift-diffusion (QCDD) models in nanoscale semiconductor device simulation. QCDD models are presented as a suitable generalization of the classical drift-diffusion (DD) system, each particular model being identified by the constitutive relation for the quantum-correction to the electric potential. We examine two special, and re...

We present preliminary results of a discontinuous Galerkin scheme applied to deterministic computations of the transients for the Boltzmann-Poisson system describing electron transport in semiconductor devices. The collisional term models optical-phonon interactions which become dominant under strong energetic conditions corresponding to nanoscale active regions under applied bias. The proposed...
