We have studied the performance potentials of III-V semiconductors and Ge n-channel MOSFETs based on a quantum-corrected Monte Carlo device simulation. We found that as a ballistic limit is approached, III-V MOSFETs lose their inherent advantage over Si and Ge MOSFETs because current enhancement due to ballistic transport becomes less effective than in Si and Ge channels. However, a high source and drain doping concentration was found to greatly improve the performance of III-V MOSFETs by reducing parasitic resistance and the mitigation of 'source starvation' attributed to the low density-of-states.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
