Analysis of Gate Dielectric Stacks Using the Transmitting Boundary Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present simulations of tunneling current through layers of high-κ dielectrics using the Tsu-Esaki model and the quantum transmitting boundary method (QTBM) to estimate the transmission coefficient. In contrast to transfer-matrix based methods, which suffer from numerical instabilities due to rounding errors, the QTBM is numerically stable even for large stacks and is suitable for implementation in device simulators. The method is used to investigate the tradeoff between conduction band offset and permittivity in alternative high-κ materials.

متن کاملModeling of High-k-Metal-Gate-Stacks Using the Non-Equilibrium Green’s Function Formalism
A high-k-Metal-Gate stack has been investigated using an open boundary model based on the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism. The numerical energy integration, which is crucial because of the very narrow resonant states, is pointed out in detail. The model has been benchmarked against the established classical and closed boundary SchrödingerPoisson model. In contrast to the established ...
