Hence there is an increasing demand for an accurate modeling of carrier transport in strained SiGe. But despite this apparent importance all electron transport models for strained SiGe published so far are of limited generality (e.g. neglect nonparabolicity and the influence of Ge on phonon scattering) and are not verified experimentally by measurements of ohmic mobility in strained SiGe layers. This paper aims at closing this gap.","PeriodicalId":341161,"journal":{"name":"1996 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices. SISPAD '96 (IEEE Cat.

When highly accurate solutions are required, the discretization (meshing) of the geometry becomes increasingly important. A scheme is required to construct optimal meshes, in the sense that maximum accuracy of the solution can be achieved with minimal computational effort. Automatic adaptive meshing allows to automatically generate a good mesh, by iteratively refining the elements that contribute strongly to the overall error. An error indicator for BEM simulations is presented and an adaptive meshing scheme, involving both p- and h-type refinement. The generated discretizations lead to significantly higher accuracy for a given simulation size.","PeriodicalId":341161,"journal":{"name":"1996 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices.

With this approach we can really count the impact of ac charge on the harmonic current calculation. Harmonic balance based simulation technique is used to calculated the frequency properties of primary harmonic as well as higher harmonics. A conventional undoped AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs DB structure with thickness of 34 /spl Aring//34 /spl Aring//34 /spl Aring/ sandwiched between two lightly doped GaAs spacers is used as a test device.

The aim of this work is to reduce the number of wafers in split lots used to investigate the effects of device parameter variation by predicting these effects with device modeling. Our approach is based on a device model (geometry and doping profile) which is extracted for one wafer by inverse modeling. This model is then used to predict the effects of parameter variation by device simulation with Galene III and our full band Monte Carlo (FB-MC) program Falcon.

The basic simulation method is to calculate tunnel rates for all possible tunnel events starting from a particular state (charge distribution) of the circuit. These tunnel rates strongly depend on the change in free energy, of the whole circuit. Every system tends to a state of lower energy and therefore tunnel events that lower the free energy are more likely to happen.","PeriodicalId":341161,"journal":{"name":"1996 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices.
