Original Abstract

Some features of current MOSFETs (oxide thickness, channel width) have reached quantum mechanical length scales. Therefore, the wave nature of electrons and holes can no longer be neglected. The contribution deals with TCAD simulation of quantum corrections (QC) in the MOSFET channel. This effect is described by the phenomenological van Dort model, which accounts for the size quantization by increasing the effective band gap in the high-field region. The method to activate the van Dort model in DESSIS and to extract the threshold voltage increase and the subthreshold current reduction due to QC is described. The simulations are run under GENESISe. The tool flow starts with the device editor MDRAW followed by device simulator DESSIS and visualization and extraction tool INSPECT.
