Drift Velocities and Momentum Distributions of Hot Carriers in MOSFETs at Low Supply Volt ages
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we determine the momentum distribution and drift velocity of hot carriers in silicon under the condition of finite supply energy. We show that the momentum distribution varies between the nearly isotropic in high field to strongly anisotropic when the carrier's energy is comparable to the supply energy.

An Improved Energy Transport Model Suitable for Simulation of Partially Depleted SOI MOSFETs
When applied to partially depleted SOI MOSFETs, the energy transport model predicts anomalous output characteristics. The effect that the drain current reaches a maximum and then decreases is peculiar to the energy transport model. It is not present in drift-diffusion simulations and its occurrence in measurements is questionable. The effect is due to an overestimation of the diffusion of chann...
متن کاملA sub-1 Volt 10-bit supply boosted SAR ADC design in standard CMOS
This paper presents a new very low-power, low-voltage successive approximation analog to digital converter (SAR ADC) design based on supply boosting technique. The supply boosting technique (SBT) and supply boosted (SB) circuits including level shifter, comparator, and supporting electronics are described. Supply boosting provides wide input common mode range and sub-1 Volt operation for the ci...
متن کاملTime-periodic Electroosmotic Flow of Non-newtonian Fluids in Microchannels
The alternating current electroosmotic flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is studied in a circular microchannel. A numerical method is employed to solve the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann and the momentum equations. The main parameters which affect the flow field are the flow behavior index, the dimensionless zeta potential and the dimensionless frequency. At very low dimensionless frequenci...
متن کاملSource Properties of a Hollow Cathode Arc Plasma
Experiments have been carried out on the properties of a hollow cathode as an ion-source. The measured electron density, ion and neutral temperatures and drift velocities have been compared with predictions from the conservation laws for matter, momentum and energy. Very large exit drift velocities of ions and neutrals are observed. The magnitude and direction, against the electric field, can b...
متن کاملA study of magnetic drift motion of particles around the equatorial plasmapause by using the cluster observation
On August 7, 2003 the Cluster spacecraft moved through the dayside magnetosphere. The energetic particle spectrometer on board Cluster provided measurements of an extensive range of energy. Besides, satellite measurements of geomagnetic field showed a gradient magnetic field. It is known that an inhomogeneity of the magnetic field leads to a drift of charged particles. In this paper, the drift ...
