Dig. of IEDM, p.69-72, 1996). The present methodology not only provides accurate assessment of actual capacitance variation but provides valuable feedback on the variability of physical parameters such as interlayer dielectric (ILD) thickness and interconnect drawn width reduction or swelling for process control as well. It also ensures the accuracy of LPE (layout parameters extraction) for the 90 nm technology node and beyond.","PeriodicalId":220325,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices, 2003.

The Wigner equation, commonly solved by finite difference methods, is solved in this work by a recently developed Monte Carlo method. This method resolves both quantum interference and dissipation effects due to scattering with equal accuracy. Both limits, namely the pure quantum ballistic case and the scattering-dominated classical case are treated properly. A comparison of the Wigner MC solver and NEMO-ID is presented. Resonant tunneling diodes from the literature are chosen as benchmark devices. Current/voltage characteristics are compared for different temperatures and the effect of scattering on the current and the charge distribution is shown. Practical device simulation limitations of the Wigner MC method are discussed. Provided that numerical parameters of the Wigner MC method such as the coherence length and the grid size are chosen properly, results are obtained in good quantitative agreement with NEMO-1D.","PeriodicalId":220325,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices, 2003.

It is found that while gate resistance only affects fringing gate capacitance can have a significant impact on both /sub fr/ and f/sub max/, indicating that the physical gate structure has to be optimized for any specific application. The experiments suggest that low-ic material is needed as sidewall spacer (if any) and passivation for reducing fringing gate capacitance. Furthermore, the simulations show that if low gate resistance can be achieved by using a multi-finger geometry, a rectangular-shaped gate should be used in order to reduce fringing gate capacitance.
