Monte Carlo Simulation of Electron Transport Properties in Extremely Thin SOI MOSFET’s
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron mobility in extremely thin-film siliconon-insulator (SOI) MOSFET’s has been simulated. A quantum mechanical calculation is implemented to evaluate the spatial and energy distribution of the electrons. Once the electron distribution is known, the effect of a drift electric field parallel to the Si–SiO2 interfaces is considered. The Boltzmann transport equation is solved by the Monte Carlo method. The contribution of phonon, surface-roughness at both interfaces, and Coulomb scattering has been considered. The mobility decrease that appears experimentally in devices with a silicon film thickness under 20 nm is satisfactorily explained by an increase in phonon scattering as a consequence of the greater confinement of the electrons in the silicon film.

Monte Carlo Simulation of a Linear Accelerator and Electron Beam Parameters Used in Radiotherapy
Introduction: In recent decades, several Monte Carlo codes have been introduced for research and medical applications. These methods provide both accurate and detailed calculation of particle transport from linear accelerators. The main drawback of Monte Carlo techniques is the extremely long computing time that is required in order to obtain a dose distribution with good statistical accuracy. ...

We present a parameter extraction technique for higher-order transport models for a 2D electron gas in ultra thin body SOI MOSFETs. To describe 2D carrier transport we have developed a self consistent Schrödinger-Poisson Subband Monte Carlo simulator. The method takes into account quantization effects and a non equilibrium distribution function of the carrier gas, which allows an accurate descr...
