چکیده
We present results of fully 2D quantum-mechanical (QM) simulations of nanoscale MOSFET's. The validity of semiclassical transport models are first discussed. Then, QM effects on threshold voltage, subthreshold slope and short-channel performances are addressed. We show that QM effects significantly affect device performances in the nanoscale range.

A Compact Carrier Quantization Model for Nanoscale MOSFETs Simulation
Due to the advanced fabrication technology, the oxide thickness is now in the regime of 1.0 nm for nanoscale MOSFETs. The quantization effects and inversion charge density displacement away from the interface of oxide and silicon can not be neglected. The most accurate model for such problem is solving the Schrödinger-Poisson (SP) equations with proper boundary condition in 1D structure. Howeve...

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...

متن کاملA Compact Model for the Threshold Voltage of Silicon Nanowire MOS Transistors including 2D-Quantum Confinement Effects
A quantum-mechanical compact model of the threshold voltage (VT) for quantum nanowire MOSFETs has been developed. This approach is based on analytical solutions for the decoupled 2D Schrödinger and 1D Poisson equations solved in the silicon channel. A quantum correction based on the perturbation theory has been also introduced to improve the model accuracy. Finally, the validity of the model ha...
