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.

In this paper, the influence of coherent and incoherent boundary conditions for quantum transport through silicon nanowires is studied. An iteration scheme to compute an approximate self-energy in the contacts is proposed. The focus lies on the impact on the self-consistent electrostatics and the current computation. In addition, the scaling behavior with increasing device lengths is shown.

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.

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

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.
