Hot Phonons Contribution to scattering rates in Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Gautreau P., Ragab T., Basaran C., University of Tabuk, SA

The influence of hot phonons on the electron-phonon scattering rates is studied via an Ensemble Monte Carlo(EMC) simulation with step by step update of the phonon occupation number to account for the generation of hot [...]

Elements of Statistical SPICE Models

Lu N., Watts J., Springer S.K., IBM, US

We discuss several elements of statistical SPICE models and present our solutions. We present (i) a solution of automatically detecting Monte Carlo vs. skewed simulations, (ii) a method of modeling an arbitrarily given asymmetric or [...]

Long-Range Coulomb Interactions in Small Silicon Devices: Transconductance and Mobility Degradation

Fischetti M.V., Laux S.E., IBM Research Division, US

In small silicon devices,conduction electrons in the channel are subject to long-range Coulomb interactions with electrons in the heavily-doped drain,source,and gate regions.We show that for devices with channel lengths shorter than about 40 nm and [...]
