Hybrid CA/Monte Carlo Modeling of Charge Transport in Semiconductors

Saraniti M., Goodnick S.M., Wigger S.J., Arizona State University, US

We report on the modeling of ultra-small MOS devices using a newly developed full band device simulator. The simulation tool is based on a novel approach, featuring a hybrid Monte-Carlo/Cellular Automata simulation engine self-consistently coupled [...]

Three-Dimensional Multi-Grid Poisson Solver for Modeling Semiconductor Devices

Wigger S.J., Saraniti M., Goodnick S.M., Arizona State University, US

In this paper, a full three-dimensional (3D), inhomogenous linear multi-grid Poisson solver is presented for application in particle-based simulation tools for devic emodeling. This algorithm represents the first such fully 3D multi-grid solver for device [...]

Full-Band Cellular Automata for Modeling Transport in Sub-Micrometer Devices

Saraniti M., Wigger S.J., Goodnick S.M., Illinois Institute of Technology, US

The aim of the present work is to discuss a new cellular automaton (CA) approach to model charge transport in semiconductors taking into account the full-band representatoin of the electronic structur eand of the phonon [...]
