Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Quantum mechanical effects of carrier transport can play an important role in scaled semi-classical devices into nanometer regime. In this paper, we will discuss quantum mechanical corrections of potential in carrier transport modeling, where a density-gradient-based approach and an effective-potential-based approach are carefully compared. We show strengths and weaknesses of those approaches by demonstrating simulation results using a Monte Carlo method, and then propose a new approach that couples them. The new approach is applied to a nano-scale MOSFET and shown to be a practical way to describe quantum confinement effects considering the an-isotropic nature of Si conduction electrons, and also tunneling behavior leaking into a gate oxide layer.
