Does a Nanowire Transistor Follow the Golden Ratio? A 2D Poisson-Schrödinger / 3D Monte Carlo Simulation Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we observed the signatures of isotropic charge distributions showing the same attributes as the golden ratio (Phi) described in art and architecture, we also present a simulation study of ultra-scaled n-type silicon nanowire transistors (NWT) for the 5nm CMOS application. Our results reveal that the amount of mobile charge in the channel is determined by the device geometry and could also be related to the golden ratio (Phi). We also established a link between the main device characteristics, such as a drive and leakage current, and cross-sectional shape and dimensions of the device. We discussed the correlation between the main Figure of Merit (FoM) and the device variability and reliability. Keywords— Golden ratio, nanowire transistors, PoissonSchrödinger, simulations, quantum confinement

متن کاملA Compact Model for the Threshold Voltage of Silicon Nanowire MOS Transistors including 2D-Quantum Confinement Effects
A quantum-mechanical compact model of the threshold voltage (VT) for quantum nanowire MOSFETs has been developed. This approach is based on analytical solutions for the decoupled 2D Schrödinger and 1D Poisson equations solved in the silicon channel. A quantum correction based on the perturbation theory has been also introduced to improve the model accuracy. Finally, the validity of the model ha...

We report on the modeling of ultra-small MOS devices using a newly developed full band device simulator. The simulation tool is based on a novel approach, featuring a hybrid Monte-Carlo/Cellular Automata simulation engine self-consistently coupled with a 2D and 3D multi-grid Poisson solver.
متن کاملInvestigation of the dimensionality of charge transport in organic field effect transistors
Ever since the first experimental investigations of organic field effect transistors (OFETs) the dimensionality of charge transport has alternately been described as two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D). More recently, researchers have turned to an analytical analysis of the temperature-dependent transfer characteristics to classify the dimensionality as either 2D or 3D as well as to...
