These effects have a considerable effect on the overall device performance. In this work, we have employed a 3D parallel drift-diffusion device simulator to study the impact of intrinsic parameter fluctuations in a 50 nm gate length InP HEMT with an In0.7Ga0.3As channel. After careful calibration of the I-V characteristics obtained from the device simulator against experimental data we carry out a statistical study considering the fluctuations in the delta-doping layer and interface charges as well as Indium content variation in the channel. We have found that the presence of random discrete dopants in the delta-doping layer are the major factor introducing the variations in the drive current.","PeriodicalId":108254,"journal":{"name":"2007 Spanish Conference on Electron Devices","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116210296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All the alternative fabrication processes on silicon, with their advantages and disadvantages not only about fabrication, but also flow focusing operation, are explained. The behaviors of the device obtained by simulations are displayed. The results of simulations show stable and unstable behaviors. The instabilities are due to fluidic interactions. From these simulation some solutions are proposed in order to solve the instability, and therefore, to improve the range of operation of the device.","PeriodicalId":108254,"journal":{"name":"2007 Spanish Conference on Electron Devices","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121665330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new method for introducing the long-range and short-range Coulomb interaction in Monte Carlo particle based simulations is presented. The method is based on directly dealing with a many-particle system by solving a different Poisson equation for each electron. The present work shows the numerical viability of this approach for the accurate simulation of nanoscale devices. The method is compared with the traditional \"mean-field\" approximation used in Monte Carlo simulators. The incapability of the \"mean field\" approximation to deal with the short-range Coulomb interaction is manifested. It is shown, numerically, that the \"mean-field\" approximation produces dramatic errors when small spatial steps are used.","PeriodicalId":108254,"journal":{"name":"2007 Spanish Conference on Electron Devices","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130774415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
