A fast method to estimate the effects of line edge roughness is proposed. This method is based upon the use of multiple 2D device "slices" sandwiched together to form a MOS transistor of a given width. This method was verified to yield an accurate representation of rough edge MOS transistors through comparisons to full three dimensional simulations. A subsequent statistical study shows how the variation in line edge roughness affects the values and variances of several key device parameters.

In this work, the effect of phonon boundary scattering on the heat transfer in thin silicon layers and close to interfaces was investigated. The modeling is applicable to silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices as well as to conventional bulk technology. From a linearized Boltzmann transport equation (BTE), anisotropic local thermal conductivities are derived. A separate expression is formulated for the case of a bulk device where only one interface is present. Anisotropy was implemented as a finite element-based operator into the PROPHET device simulator and a demonstration of the new electrothermal modeling was made for a conventional MOSFET. The anisotropic local thermal conductivities lead to a temperature increase /spl sim/30% higher at the gate oxide interface compared to conventional modeling.

We present a Monte Carlo (MC) model comprising SiO/sub 2/ and Si transport, suitable to simulate carrier multiplication in MOS structures. The code extends full-band density of states (DoS) and scattering rate calculations in silicon up to high energy. Simulations of 5-15 nm oxides for nonvolatile memory applications demonstrate the role of oxide transport on the distribution of the holes generated by impact ionization, which are often regarded as the origin of oxide degradation, SILC and breakdown.

A simple, physical view of carrier transport in nanoscale MOSFETs is presented. The role of ballistic transport, scattering and off-transport, equilibrium transport, and quantum transport are illustrated by numerical simulation, and the limitations of common approaches used for device TCAD are examined.

Extremely small silicon MOS devices in a 10-nm scale are successfully fabricated and characterized at room temperature and low temperatures. In such small devices, the quantum confinement effect and single electron charging effect manifest themselves in device characteristics even at room temperature. Device modeling challenges for nanoscale MOSFETs are also discussed.

In this paper, the performance of a special algebraic multigrid (AMG) solver for the solution of stress analysis problems in process simulation has been investigated. The discrete stress analysis equations are generated directly by the process simulator. The practical simulation examples include stress analysis during natively growing and deposited material films. It is shown that approaches using the AMG solver as a preconditioner are better than standard iterative solvers with regard to computing times and convergence behavior. A further comparison demonstrates that these AMG approaches are faster than the SuperLU direct solver.

We present a new Monte Carlo technique to investigate the signal delay of advanced BJTs featuring relevant nonlocal effects. The method is suited to analyze base and collector signal delays in presence of significant nonequilibrium transport effects and up to high currents, and to verify the physical meaning and applicability of delay expressions for compact models.

A new method based on the slope extraction of the total gate charge versus mask gate length from measured S-parameters is developed to determine effective channel mobility model parameters directly from submicron MOSFETs. Since this method does not require a large test device, parasitic capacitance calibration, or the effective channel length measurement, it is simpler and more accurate than traditional methods.
