متن کاملSubband Structure of Silicon Nanowires from the Hensel-Hasegawa-Nakayama Model
The subband structure of nanowires is commonly obtained through an atomistic tight binding approach. In this work an alternative, continuum based method is investigated, namely a two-band k ·p approximation of the conduction band structure. A derivation of the subband Schrödinger equations from the bulk model and their numerical solution are presented for [100] nanowires. Self-consistent simula...
متن کاملMobility Modeling in Advanced MOSFETs with Ultra-Thin Silicon Body under Stress
Mobility in advanced MOSFETs with strained ultra-thin silicon body is investigated. We use a two-band k·p model to describe the subband structure in strained silicon thin films. The model provides the dependence of the conductivity effective mass on strain and film thickness. The conductivity mass decreases along tensile stess in [110] direction applied to a (001) silicon film. This conductivit...
متن کاملElectron subband dispersions in ultra-thin silicon films from a two-band k·p theory
The electron subband structure in a thin (100) silicon film is analyzed based on a two-band k·p theory. For unprimed subbands the dependence of the nonparabolicity parameter on film thickness is obtained. The two-band k·p theory gives a thickness dependence of the effective masses for primed subbands. Limitations of the model are discussed. The importance of the nonparabolicity parameter depend...
متن کاملStrain-Controlled Valley Splitting in Si-SiGe Heterostructures
A splitting between equivalent valleys larger than the spin splitting was recently reported in a gate confined electron system in thin Si films grown on SiGe substrate [1]. This degeneracy lifting reduces scattering and improves the coherence time. The valley splitting larger than the spin splitting opens a way to build spin qubits, which makes silicon-based quantum devices promising for future...
