Two approaches are compared: a one-dimensional (1D) Schrodinger-Poisson solver coupled to the common drift-diffusion model and a two-dimensional (2D), full quantum mechanical computation of the current. In the first approach, the tunnel probability through the gate dielectric is obtained on straight lines that connect points in the channel with the gate. The second method uses a 2D Schrodinger-Poisson solver with open boundary conditions where carriers are injected from the source, drain, and gate terminals. The dielectric layer has an equivalent oxide thickness of 1.2 nm and is either composed of pure SiO2 or of a high-K SiOx-HfO2 stack. It is found that the leakage currents calculated with the 2D approach are significantly larger due to diffraction of the electron waves at both edges of the gate contact.","PeriodicalId":260253,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128900370","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}
