Physical Transport Simulation for Path-Finding and Device Optimization

M. Karner, Z. Stanojevic, O. Baumgartner, HW. Karner, C. Kernstock, H. Demel, F. Mitterbauer
We present a novel simulation approach for transport modeling in nano-scaled devices. It is based on the solution of the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) in phase space using a k·p-based electronic structure model and includes all relevant scattering processes. The modeling framework is suitable low and high VDD regime and consistently covers all the necessary physics like confinement, velocity overshoot, and quantum resistance to give meaningful predictions using only few material parameters. With a highly efficient numerical implementation, the approach is suitable for both path-finding and device optimization.
