Abstract

A three dimensional ballistic quantum transport model for a quantum wire silicon MOSFET is presented. A non-uniform mesh with finer grid spacing in the high potential regions, was applied to the simulation of a quantum wire SOI MOSFET with a narrow channel (8 nm). As a result of this, the applied gate voltage reduces the channel barrier potential, thus the channel populates and depopulates with electrons alternatively. The results show that the electrons entering the channel have an exaggerated interaction with the channel dopants causing the formation of resonant slates within the channel.
