Line edge roughness (LER) in end-of-the-roadmap integrated circuit interconnects causes variability in their resis- tance R, capacitance C and hence also their RC delay. We present an analysis of LER-induced variability of resistance, capacitance and delay of short-range interconnects within standard cells at the 32, 22 and 18 nm technology nodes using both a commercial RC extraction tool as well as a fast quasi-analytical (QA) method. Our QA method includes size dependent resistivity which, when coupled with LER, reveals increased resistance variability and total resistance in interconnects at these technology nodes. For example, the QA method predicts variability of 52% in resistance, 16% in capacitance and 36% in RC delay. When LER is the dominant source of variability there is a correlation of �0.8 between resistance and capacitance. Our results indicate interconnect variability is a significant and worsening problem, which should be included in statistical models of standard cells.
线路末端集成电路互连中的线边缘粗糙度(LER)导致其阻抗R、电容C的变化,从而导致其RC延迟的变化。我们使用商用RC提取工具和快速准分析(QA)方法,分析了标准电池在32、22和18 nm技术节点上的短程互连电阻、电容和延迟的ler诱导变异性。我们的QA方法包括与尺寸相关的电阻率,当与LER结合时,可以显示这些技术节点互连中增加的电阻变异性和总电阻。例如,QA方法预测的电阻变异性为52%,电容变异性为16%,RC延迟变异性为36%。当LER是变异性的主要来源时,电阻和电容之间的相关系数为0.8。我们的研究结果表明,互连变异性是一个重要且日益严重的问题,应该包括在标准细胞的统计模型中。

Quantum simulations basically rely on two kinetic theories which account for the coherent transport at different levels of approximation. These theories have complementary properties with respect to the ability to account for de-coherence processes, and become computationally expensive in describing mixed mode transport, where both, coherent and de-coherent processes must be taken into account. We consider an ap- proach, where the coherent information, as provided by the non- equilibrium Green's function, is used in a kind of Wigner equa- tion for the scattering induced correction to the coherent Wigner function. Here, we address the opportunity to approximate the equation by taking the classical limit in the Wigner potential term. I. INTRODUCTION The nanometer and femtosecond scales of operation of modern devices give rise to a number of phenomena which are beyond purely classical description. These phenomena are classified in the International Technology Road-map for Semi- conductors (ITRS, www.itrs.net) according to their importance to the performance of next generation devices. It is recognized that '... computationally efficient quantum based simulators' are of utmost interest. Quantum models capable of describing mixed mode transport, where purely coherent phenomena such as quantization and tunneling are considered along with phase breaking processes such as interactions with phonons, are especially relevant. The rising computational requirements resulting from the increasing complexity due to the mixed mode phenomena are a major concern for the development and deployment of these models. The harmony between theoretical and numerical aspects of the classical Boltzmann model is no longer among the characteristics of the quantum mechanical counterpart. The two kinetic theories which are the foundations of quantum simulations will be sketched in the following. We first consider coherent processes. The non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) approach offers the most comprehensive, self-consistent way to account for correlations in space and time. However, because of numerical issues the applicability is restricted to stationary structures, basically in the ballistic limit (1). The computational burden can be reduced by work- ing in a mode space, obtained by separation of the problem into longitudinal and transverse directions. Furthermore, if the transverse potential profile along the transport direction remains uniform, the modes in these directions can be de- coupled so that the transport becomes quasi-multidimensional.
量子模拟基本上依赖于两种动力学理论,这两种理论解释了不同近似水平上的相干输运。这些理论在解释脱相干过程的能力方面具有互补的特性,并且在描述混合模式传输时变得计算昂贵,其中必须考虑相干和脱相干过程。我们考虑了一种方法,利用非平衡格林函数提供的相干信息,在一类维格纳方程中对相干维格纳函数进行散射诱导校正。在这里,我们通过在维格纳势项中取经典极限来解决近似方程的机会。现代设备的纳米级和飞秒级操作产生了许多超出纯经典描述的现象。根据这些现象对下一代器件性能的重要性,在国际半导体技术路线图(ITRS, www.itrs.net)中对它们进行了分类。人们认识到……计算效率高的量子模拟器是最感兴趣的。量子模型能够描述混合模式输运,其中纯相干现象,如量子化和隧道被考虑与相破缺过程,如与声子的相互作用,是特别相关的。由于混合模态现象而增加的复杂性所导致的计算需求的增加是这些模型开发和部署的主要关注点。经典玻尔兹曼模型的理论和数值方面之间的和谐不再是量子力学对应的特征之一。作为量子模拟基础的两种动力学理论将在下面概述。我们首先考虑连贯过程。非平衡格林函数(NEGF)方法提供了最全面、自洽的方法来解释空间和时间的相关性。然而,由于数值问题,其适用性仅限于固定结构,基本上在弹道极限(1)。通过将问题分离为纵向和横向,在模态空间中工作,可以减少计算量。此外,如果沿输运方向的横向势分布保持均匀,则这些方向上的模可以解耦,从而使输运成为准多维的。

Metal-graphene contacts play a critical role in graphene-based electronics. The potential steps of graphene contact with eight different kinds of metals and many other electronic properties were obtained using first-principles DFT calculation. Core potential of some C atoms are used as reference to get the change of Fermi level between isolated and contacted graphene no matter whether the Dirac point could be seen in the bandstructure or not. Our results show that there are two kinds of contacts except Pd. The strong chemical contact is preferred when comes to transport.

General ideas and strategies of realistic modeling of strongly correlated systems are reviewed. The purpose of this approach is to construct a microscopic (for example, the Hubbard-type) model for the limited group of bands located near the Fermi level and derive parameters of this model entirely from the first-principles electronic structure calculations. Thus, the method combines the accuracy of the first-principle calculations with the transparency and physical insights of the model analysis. The abilities of the method are illustrated on a number of examples, including the origin of the multiferroicity in BiMnO 3 , spin-orbital-lattice coupled phenomena in ABO 3 (where A= three-valent rare-earths element and B= Ti or V), and magnetism of KO 2 . The latter compound can be regarded a rare example of strongly correlated system build from the magnetic oxygen molecules.

Using Monte-Carlo method, we simulate kinetics and transport of electrons in different types of InAs/GaAs quantum-dot infrared photodetectors. Our simulation program exploits Gamma-L-X model of the conduction band of semiconductor and it includes three major types of electron scattering on: 1) acoustic phonons, 2) polar optical phonons, and 3) intervalley phonons. The results of simulation demonstrate that the combination of local potential barriers around quantum dots and quantum-dot structure with collective barriers can be used to achieve long carrier lifetimes, and therefore high photoconductive gain, responsivity, and detectivity.

This paper presents a simulation work of In0.7Ga0.3As HEMT devices for logic applications using a quantum ballistic 2D simulator based on the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) approach coupled to a 2D Poisson for the electrostatics. In a previous study, we showed that In0.7Ga0.3As short channel HEMT devices operates close to the ballistic limit and can be modeled as a ballistic channel attached to two series resistances. Since the electronic structure of the quantized channel is not known precisely, or can be altered by strain fields, in this work, we quantify our results, by investigating the variation in device performance due to variations in the effective mass values. We conclude that for these devices, variations in the electronic structure do not impact the device performance significantly. The results also provide insight into the expected effect of strain on the performance due to mass variations.

The TIBERCAD project [1] is aimed at the implementation of a device simulator which captures the most important physical concepts encountered in present and emerging electronic and optoelectronic devices. On the one hand the down-scaling of device dimensions requires the inclusion of more advanced quantum mechanical concepts which go beyond classical transport theories. On the other hand, functionality of new emerging devices is based both on electrons/holes, and other quasi-particles such as excitons, polaritons, etc. Usually the active part of a device which needs a more elaborate and careful treatment is small compared to the overall simulation domain. The computational cost of the more accurate model however forbids its application to the whole domain, especially when using atomistic approaches. TIBERCAD implements the following physical models: (a) A structural model that allows to calculate strain and shape deformation of lattice mismatched heterostructures based on linear elasticity theory of solids, assuming pseudomorphic interfaces between different materials [2]. External mechanical forces can be included in the simulation. (b) Quantum-mechanical models to calculate eigenstates of confined particles based on the envelope function approximation including single-band and multiband k . p approach. We solve a stationary Schrodinger equation and obtain energy spectrum, particle density and probabilities of optical transitions [3]. (c) Semi-classical transport models that consider electrons, holes and excitons. Transport is treated in the drift-diffusion approximation. The electrochemical potentials are used as dependent variables such that the particle flux is equal to the gradient of a driving potential multiplied by a particle conductivity: φ
TIBERCAD项目[1]旨在实现一个设备模拟器,该模拟器捕获当前和新兴电子和光电子设备中遇到的最重要的物理概念。一方面,器件尺寸的缩小需要包含超越经典输运理论的更先进的量子力学概念。另一方面,新兴器件的功能既基于电子/空穴,也基于其他准粒子,如激子、极化子等。通常,与整个模拟域相比,需要更精心和仔细处理的设备的有源部分很小。然而,更精确的模型的计算成本使其无法应用于整个领域,特别是在使用原子方法时。TIBERCAD实现了以下物理模型:(a)基于固体线性弹性理论的结构模型,假设不同材料之间的界面为伪晶[2],可以计算晶格错配异质结构的应变和形状变形。外部机械力可以包含在仿真中。(b)基于包络函数近似计算受限粒子本征态的量子力学模型,包括单波段和多波段k。p的方法。我们求解了一个平稳薛定谔方程,得到了能谱、粒子密度和光跃迁的概率[3]。(c)考虑电子、空穴和激子的半经典输运模型。在漂移-扩散近似中处理输运。电化学电位被用作因变量,使得粒子通量等于驱动电位的梯度乘以粒子电导率φ

We present new preliminary results of a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) scheme applied to deterministic computations of the transients for the Boltzmann-Poisson (BP) system describing electron transport in semiconductor devices. Very recently in, results for one and two dimensional devices were obtained in the case of silicon semiconductor assuming the non-parabolic band approximation. Here, more general band structures are considered. Preliminary benchmark numerical tests on Kane and Brunetti et al. band models are reported.
我们提出了一个不连续伽辽金(DG)格式的新初步结果,该格式应用于描述半导体器件中电子输运的玻尔兹曼-泊松(BP)系统瞬态的确定性计算。最近,在硅半导体的情况下,假设非抛物带近似,得到了一维和二维器件的结果。这里考虑的是更一般的能带结构。本文报道了Kane和Brunetti等波段模型的初步基准数值试验。
