Full-thermodynamic device simulation solves drift-diffusion (DD), energy balance, and lattice self-heating equations simultaneously and the solution time is extensive. An algorithm to reduce the solution time is presented. The method uses a single lattice temperature to describe the self-heating in the whole semiconductor device. It is shown that the solution time is reduced by 20% and little e...

A spontaneous heating process is found to arise in a system where magnetic island present due linearly unstable tearing mode. The parity, the relative phases and structure of fields determined by mode cause compression plasma direction parallel field heat vicinity separatrix nonlinear phase. Using six-field electromagnetic fluid model, be both two-dimensional single-helicity three-dimensional m...

This paper evaluates impact of self-heating in wire interconnection on signal propagation delay in an upcoming 32 nm process technology, using practical physical parameters. This paper examines a 64-bit data transmission model as one of the most heating cases. Experimental results show that the maximum wire temperature increase due to the selfheating appears in the case where the ratio of inter...

It is well known that for the design and simulation of state-of-the-art circuits thermal effects like self-heating and coupling between individual devices must be taken into account. As compact models for modern or experimental devices are not readily available, a mixed-mode device simulator capable of thermal simulation is a valuable source of information. Considering self-heating and coupling...
