A Compact Model for the Threshold Voltage of Silicon Nanowire MOS Transistors including 2D-Quantum Confinement Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
A quantum-mechanical compact model of the threshold voltage (VT) for quantum nanowire MOSFETs has been developed. This approach is based on analytical solutions for the decoupled 2D Schrödinger and 1D Poisson equations solved in the silicon channel. A quantum correction based on the perturbation theory has been also introduced to improve the model accuracy. Finally, the validity of the model has been verified by comparison with data obtained with a 2D/3D Poisson-Schrödinger driftdiffusion simulation code.

متن کاملA History of MOS Transistor Compact Modeling
The MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Silicon Field-EffectTransistor) or MOS Transistor (MOST) is a three dimensional electronic device. It operates on the conductivity modulation principle in a thin semiconductor layer by a controlling electric field to give amplifying and switching functions between three electrical terminals (input, output and common) connected to the film. This principle was first propos...
متن کاملSingle-electron and quantum confinement limits in length-scaled silicon nanowires.
Quantum-effects will play an important role in both future CMOS and 'beyond CMOS' technologies. By comparing single-electron transistors formed in un-patterned, uniform-width silicon nanowire (SiNW) devices with core widths from ∼5-40 nm, and gated lengths of 1 μm and ∼50 nm, we show conditions under which these effects become significant. Coulomb blockade drain-source current-voltage character...

Due to emergence of serious obstacles by scaling of the transistors dimensions, it has been obviously proved that silicon technology should be replaced by a new one having a high ability to overcome the barriers of scaling to nanometer regime. Among various candidates, carbon nanotube (CNT) field effect transistors are introduced as the most promising devices for substituting the silicon-based ...
