Abstract-The reduction of the critical dimensions of transistor architectures makes mandatory the inclusion of quantum effects different than standard confinement becomes in advanced device simulators to describe the electrical behavior. In particular, direct tunneling from source to drain, band-to-band tunneling and gate leakage mechanisms considering direct and trap assisted tunneling are of especial interest. This work presents a study of these mechanisms in Fully Depleted Silicon-OnInsulator (FDSOI) and FinFET devices using a Multi-Subband Ensemble Monte Carlo (MS-EMC) simulator.
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.
