A Computational Study of Thin-Body, Double-Gate, Schottky Barrier MOSFETs
نویسنده
چکیده
Nanoscale Schottky barrier MOSFETs (SBFETs) are explored by solving the two-dimensional Poisson equation self-consistently with a quantum transport equation. The results show that for SBFETs with positive, effective metal-semiconductor barrier heights, the on-current is limited by tunneling through a barrier at the source. If, however, a negative metal-semiconductor barrier height could be achieved, on-current of SBFETs would approach that of a ballistic MOSFET. The reason is that the gate voltage would then modulate a thermionic barrier rather than a tunneling barrier, a process similar to ballistic MOSFETs and one that delivers more current.

Owing to the difficulties associated with substitutional doping of low-dimensional nanomaterials, most field-effect transistors built from carbon nanotubes, two-dimensional crystals and other low-dimensional channels are Schottky barrier MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors). The transmission through a Schottky barrier-MOSFET is dominated by the gate-dependent transmissio...

In this paper, we present the main issues and the modelling approaches for the simulation of nanoscale MOSFETs in which transport is dominated by ballistic electrons. We show that is indeed possible to compute in an accurate way the density of states in the channel in the case of quantum confinement without solving the complete two-dimensional Schr€ odinger equation. We are developing modelling...
