Drift Velocity Calculation in Si Using an Analytical Model for the Phonon Dispersion

Gada M., Vasileska D., Raleva K., Goodnick S.M., Arizona State University, US

It is well known that crystalline silicon is the material of choice for fabrication of integrated circuits because silicon wafers are cheap and silicon dioxide is abundant in nature. Properties of the crystalline silicon have [...]

Self – Heating Effects in Nanowire Transistors

Hossain A., Raleva K., Vasileska D., Goodnick S.M., Arizona State University, US

We investigate the role of self-heating effects on the electrical characteristics of a silicon nanowire transistor using a 3-D Monte Carlo device simulator that includes self-consistent solution of the energy balance equations for both acoustic [...]

First self-consistent thermal electron- phonon simulator

Vasileska D., Raleva K., Goodnick S.M., Arizona State University, US

We have developed the first self-consistent thermal electron-phonon simulator which solves the Boltzmann transport equation for the electrons and the energy balance equations for phonons, and as such allows us to make realistic estimates on [...]
