研究目的
To develop a self-consistent procedure based on a full-zone spectral k·p/envelope function band structure model for the quantum mechanical simulation of exploratory semiconductor devices, enabling the calculation of free carrier densities and achieving self-consistency with the electrostatic potential.
研究成果
The developed self-consistent procedure based on a full-zone spectral k·p/envelope function model successfully enables the quantum mechanical simulation of semiconductor devices, demonstrating significant impact on device predictions, especially for scaled dimensions. The procedure highlights the importance of self-consistency in accurately modeling quantum confinement effects and electrostatic potential in exploratory semiconductor devices.
研究不足
The study is limited to ballistic transport simulations and does not account for Shockley-Read-Hall type recombination, which may lead to misleading results in the presence of gate-drain underlaps. Additionally, the computational efficiency, while improved, may still require significant resources for full device simulations.
