First, a new MC simulator able to handle selfconsistently different materials is developed.

It is shown that oxide transport plays an important role on I/sub G/ when the gate voltage is below the drain voltage (V/sub GS/<V/sub DS/). In this condition, coupled silicon/oxide (SI+OX) simulation is important to quantitatively assess I/sub G/. It is also shown that oxide scattering in the image force potential well does not significantly reduce I/sub G/. Furthermore, we propose a new injection model that empirically accounts for oxide scattering and that provides the same I/sub G/ of the SI+OX model, but with the simulation of the silicon channel only, thus enabling a significant reduction of simulation time.","PeriodicalId":249609,"journal":{"name":"International Conferencre on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124387332","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}
