Gated Si nanowires for large thermoelectric power factors
We investigate the effect of electrostatic gating on the thermoelectric power factor of p-type Si nanowires (NWs) of up to 20nm in diameter in the [100], [110] and [111] crystallographic transport orientations. We use atomistic tight-binding simulations for the calculation of the NW electronic structure, coupled to linearized Boltzmann transport equation for the calculation of the thermoelectri...

A simulation framework that couples atomistic electronic structures to Boltzmann transport formalism is developed and applied to calculate the transport characteristics of thin silicon nanowires (NWs) up to 12 nm in diameter. The sp3d5s∗-spin-orbit-coupled atomistic tight-binding model is used for the electronic structure calculation. Linearized Boltzmann transport theory is applied, including ...

The role of alloy and phonon scattering is theoretically explored in 5 nm diameter SiGe nanowires at room temperature. Low field mobility calculations are performed by utilizing sp3d5ds∗-spin-orbit-coupled tight binding model for electronic structure and Boltzmann transport formalism. Three different transport orientations <100>, <110> and <111> are considered. Alloy scattering is found to play...

The mobility of p-type nanowires (NWs) with diameters of D = 12 nm down to D = 3 nm in [100], [110], and [111] transport orientations is calculated. An atomistic tight-binding model is used to calculate the NW electronic structure. Linearized Boltzmann transport theory is applied, including phonon and surface roughness scattering (SRS) mechanisms, for the mobility calculation. We find that larg...
متن کاملA multi-subband Monte Carlo study on dominance of scattering mechanisms over carrier transport in sub-10-nm Si nanowire FETs
Dominance of various scattering mechanisms in determination of the carrier mobility is examined for silicon (Si) nanowires of sub-10-nm cross-sections. With a focus on p-type channels, the steady-state hole mobility is studied with multi-subband Monte Carlo simulations to consider quantum effects in nanoscale channels. Electronic structures of gate-all-around nanowires are described with a 6-ba...
