Numerical simulation of functional vertical merged MOS elements with optical supply

Abstract

Functional optoelectronic vertical merged MOS (OVMMOS) elements are considered with optical power supply increasing the packaging density for advanced high-speed low-power deep-submicron ULSI . Two types of new OVVMOS logical elements are proposed, analyzed and simulated. Low-voltage low-power OVMMOS with combined channels for electrons and holes to increase integration level are simulated using 2D numerical device-circuit simulators (DCS). The problems of low light power operation and optimization of OVMMOS elements are investigated using 2D-DCS.
