Dissipative Quantum Transport using the Pauli Master Equation

Abstract

On the way to develop a complete full-band quantum transport simulation using the Pauli Master Equation, we show our present results on ID n-i-n resistors, ID double barrier resonant tunneling diodes (DBRTD), and 2D double-gate field effect transistors (DGFETs) using a simplified parabolic, spherical effective-mass band-structure model accounting for nonpolar scattering with acoustic (elastic) and optical (inelastic) silicon-like phonons. We also consider the effect of point-like dopants on the access resistance of thin-body double gate devices.
