Quantum Correction for the Current-Based One-Particle Monte-Carlo Method

Brugger S.C., Wirthmueller A., Schenk A., ETH Zürich, CH

In a previous work we proposed a one-particle Monte-Carlo method based on equations for the currents. Our method has the advantage of being able to take into account arbitrary generation-recombination processes self-consistently. Recently, we extended [...]

New One-Particle Monte Carlo Method for Nanoscale Device Simulation

Brugger S.C., Schenk A., Swiss Federal Institut of Technology, CH

A new one-particle Monte Carlo iteration scheme has been found toself-consistently take into account generation-recombinationprocesses. The basic idea is to couple the BTE not only with thePoisson equation, but also with the continuity equation by [...]

2D Analysis of Source-to-Drain Tunneling in Decananometer MOSFETs with the Density-Gradient Model

Schenk A., Wettstein A., Swiss Fed. Inst. of Technology, CH

The density gradient method is able to reproduce the quantum-mechanical charge density in CMOS devices. Its ability to describe gate tunneling currents is still a matter of dispute. This paper presents the first 2-dimensional application [...]
