We perform a simulation study of the low-field mobility in n-type and p-type Si NWs of diameters from 3nm to 12nm, in the [100], [110] and [111] transport orientations. We find that the NW mobility is a strong function of orientation and diameter. This is a consequence of the large variations in the electronic structure with geometry and quantization. Especially in the case of p-type [111] and [110] NWs, large phonon-limited mobility improvements with diameter scaling are observed.","PeriodicalId":264913,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122459242","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}

First-principles calculations, based on the density functional theory, enable us to investigate important aspects of the physics of materials and structures.

On the other hand, source-drain direct tunneling crucially degrades the subthreshold properties in scaled MOSFETs with sub-10 nm gate length. Furthermore, the ability of the WMC method to describe quantum-classical transition of carrier transport is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":264913,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124715173","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}

Carrier transport in hone-shaped asymmetric channels which widen from source to drain sides is simulated by comparing that in the conventional straight channels. The obtained conductance of the horn-shaped channels is larger than that of the straight channel, as a result of the enhancement of the carrier mobility in the hone-shaped channel. This can be attributed to two reasons: the collimation effect of the asymmetric channel peculiar in the quasi-ballistic carrier transport regime, and the suppression of carrier-carrier interaction due to widening of the channel.","PeriodicalId":264913,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131226486","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}
