In SOI MOSFETs, electrons are quantized into two-dimensional electron gas by the strong electric field normal to the interface. When the Si-layer thickness is thinner than the inversion layer width, the confinement becomes stronger and effects of the non-parabolicity of the Si band structure will significantly influence the two-dimensional electronic states. We studied effects of the non-parabolicity on the electronic states in SOI MOS-FETs with such an ultra-thin Si-layer by using an empirical pseudo-potential method and analyzed the electron transport properties by performing single-electron Monte Carlo simulations.
