Effect of band structure discretization on the performance of full-band Monte Carlo simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Full-band Monte Carlo simulation offers a very accurate simulation technique, but is often limited by its high demand on computation time. The advantage of a numerical representation of the band structure over an analytical approximation is the accurate representation of the energy bands in the high energy regime. This allows accurate treatment of hot carrier effects in semiconductors. In this work we outline an efficient full-band Monte Carlo (FBMC) simulator and investigate the accuracy of simulation results for different meshing approaches for the Brillouin zone. © 2008 IMACS.

متن کاملSensitivity and uncertainty analysis of sediment rating equation coefficients using the Monte-Carlo simulation (Case study: Zoshk-Abardeh watershed, Shandiz)
The sediment load estimation is essential for watershed management and soil conservation strategies. The sediment rating curve is the most common approach for estimating the sediment load when the observed sediment records are not available. With regard to the measurement errors and the limitation of available data, the sediment rating curve has a degree of uncertainty which should be accounted...

Hole transport is investigated in ultrasmall p-channel Si MOSFETs with gate lengths of 25 nm using the Full band Monte Carlo technique. The device simulator couples a 2D Poisson solver with a discretized 6 6 k.p Hamiltonian solver that handles the valence band-structure and includes the effect of the confining potential under the gate, thereby providing the subband structure in the channel regi...

متن کاملStudying the Effect of Kidney Internal Structure on Beta Absorbed Dose of Radiopharmaceuticals Hg-203, Ho-166 And Y-90 Using Monte Carlo
Large quantities of radiopharmaceuticals prescribed for treatment and diagnosis are excreted through kidney. Therefore, radiation unwanted dose is created in kidney. As a result, exact calculation of prescribed radiopharmaceuticals amount is important. Monte Carlo method is used for simulation of radiation transport in body due to random nature of radiation. In this research, for the first time...
