This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses analytical approaches and modeling of the breakdown voltage (BV) effects on graphene-based transistors. It presents semi-analytical models for lateral electric field, length of velocity saturation region (LVSR), ionization coefficient (α), and breakdown voltage (BV) of single and double-gate graphene nanoribbon field effect transistors (GNRFETs). The application of Gauss’s law at drain and source regions is employed in order to derive surface potential and lateral electric field equations. LVSR is then calculated as a solution of surface potential at saturation condition. The ionization coefficient is modelled and calculated by deriving equations for probability of collisions in ballistic and drift modes based on the lucky drift theory of ionization. The threshold energy of ionization is computed using simulation and an empirical equation is derived semi-analytically. Lastly avalanche breakdown condition is employed to calculate the lateral BV. On the basis of this, simple analytical and semi-analytical models are proposed for the LVSR and BV, which could be used in the design and optimization of semiconductor devices and sensors. The proposed equations are used to examine BV at different channel lengths, supply voltages, oxide thickness, GNR widths, and gate voltages. Simulation results show that the operating voltage of FETs could be as low as 0.25 V in order to prevent breakdown. However, after optimization, it can go as high as 1.5 V. This work is useful for researchers working in the area of graphene nanoribbon-based transistors.

Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in the development of new and innovative materials, and of advanced modeling and characterization methods for nanoscale CMOS devices. Leading global industry bodies including the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) have created a forecast of performance improvements that will be delivered in the foreseeable future – in the form of a roadmap that will lead to a substantial enlargement in the number of materials, technologies and device architectures used in CMOS devices. This book addresses the field of materials development, which has been the subject of a major research drive aimed at finding new ways to enhance the performance of semiconductor technologies. It covers three areas that will each have a dramatic impact on the development of future CMOS devices: global and local strained and alternative materials for high speed channels on bulk substrate and insulator; very low access resistance; and various high dielectric constant gate stacks for power scaling. The book also provides information on the most appropriate modeling and simulation methods for electrical properties of advanced MOSFETs, including ballistic transport, gate leakage, atomistic simulation, and compact models for single and multi-gate devices, nanowire and carbon-based FETs. Finally, the book presents an in-depth investigation of the main nanocharacterization techniques that can be used for an accurate determination of transport parameters, interface defects, channel strain as well as RF properties, including capacitance-conductance, improved split C-V, magnetoresistance, charge pumping, low frequency noise, and Raman spectroscopy.

Download or read book The Wigner Monte Carlo Method for Nanoelectronic Devices written by Damien Querlioz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of nanoelectronics has led us to renew the concepts of transport theory used in semiconductor device physics and the engineering community. It has become crucial to question the traditional semi-classical view of charge carrier transport and to adequately take into account the wave-like nature of electrons by considering not only their coherent evolution but also the out-of-equilibrium states and the scattering effects. This book gives an overview of the quantum transport approaches for nanodevices and focuses on the Wigner formalism. It details the implementation of a particle-based Monte Carlo solution of the Wigner transport equation and how the technique is applied to typical devices exhibiting quantum phenomena, such as the resonant tunnelling diode, the ultra-short silicon MOSFET and the carbon nanotube transistor. In the final part, decoherence theory is used to explain the emergence of the semi-classical transport in nanodevices.
Download or read book Nanoscale Effects in Junctionless Field Effect Transistors written by Abdussamad Ahmed Muntahi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the concept of junctionless field effect transistor (JLFET) is old, it was not possible to fabricate a useful JLFET device, as it requires a very shallow channel region. Very recently, the emergence of new and advanced technologies has made it possible to create viable JLFET devices using nanowires. This work aims to computationally investigate the interplay of quantum size-quantization and random dopant fluctuations (RDF) effects in nanoscale JLFETs. For this purpose, a 3-D fully atomistic quantum-corrected Monte Carlo device simulator has been integrated and used in this work. The size-quantization effect has been accounted for via a parameter-free effective potential scheme and benchmarked against the NEGF approach in the ballistic limit. To study the RDF effects and treat full Coulomb (electron-ion and electron-electron) interactions in the real-space and beyond the Poisson picture, the simulator implements a corrected-Coulomb electron dynamics (QC-ED) approach. The essential bandstructure and scattering parameters (energy bandgap, effective masses, and the density-of-states) have been computed using an atomistic 20-band nearest-neighbour sp 3d5s* tight-binding scheme. First, an experimental device was simulated to evaluate the validity of the simulator. Because of the small dimension, quantum mechanical confinement was found to be the dominant mechanism that significantly degrades the current drive capability of nanoscale JLFETs. Surface roughness scattering is not as prominent as observed in conventional MOSFETs. Also, because of its small size, the performance of the device is prone to the effect of variability, for which a discrete doping model was proved essential. Finally, a new JLFET was designed and optimized in this work. The proposed device is based on a gate-all-around silicon nanowire. Source/drain length is 32.5 nm and channel length is 14 nm. Gate contact length is 9 nm. The EOT (equivalent oxide thickness) is 1 nm. It has a metal gate with a workfunction of 4.55 eV. The source, channel and drain regions are n-type with a doping density of 1.5×1019 cm-3. Detailed simulation shows that the two most influential mechanisms that degrade the drive capability are quantum mechanical confinement and Coulomb scattering. Surface roughness scattering is found to be very weak. In addition, thinner nanowire is more prone to Coulomb scattering exhibiting a reduced ON-current (ION). Simulation results show that silicon nanowires with a side length (width and depth) of 3 nm and a doping density of 1.5×1019 cm-3 produce satisfactory drive current.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding non-equilibrium properties of classical and quantum many-particle systems is one of the goals of contemporary statistical mechanics. Besides its own interest for the theoretical foundations of irreversible thermodynamics(e.g. of the Fourier's law of heat conduction), this topic is also relevant to develop innovative ideas for nanoscale thermal management with possible future applications to nanotechnologies and effective energetic resources. The first part of the volume (Chapters 1-6) describes the basic models, the phenomenology and the various theoretical approaches to understand heat transport in low-dimensional lattices (1D e 2D). The methods described will include equilibrium and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, hydrodynamic and kinetic approaches and the solution of stochastic models. The second part (Chapters 7-10) deals with applications to nano and microscale heat transfer, as for instance phononic transport in carbon-based nanomaterials, including the prominent case of nanotubes and graphene. Possible future developments on heat flow control and thermoelectric energy conversion will be outlined. This volume aims at being the first step for graduate students and researchers entering the field as well as a reference for the community of scientists that, from different backgrounds (theoretical physics, mathematics, material sciences and engineering), has grown in the recent years around those themes.
