  1. EIT4 Ballisticity of the Linear response Transport in Nanometric Silicon Devices C. Jungemann Institute for Electronics Bundeswehr UniversityNeubiberg, Germany

  2. Outline • Introduction • Theory • Results for 40nm N+NN+ structure • High bias • Zero bias • Conclusions

  3. Introduction

  4. Introduction 1D 40nm N+NN+ structure • Macroscopic models (DD, HD) fail for strong nonequilibrium due toBallistic transport! • Macroscopic models also fail near equilibrium in nanometric devices!Why?

  5. Theory

  6. Theory • Boltzmann and Poisson equations • Deterministic solver based on an nth-order Spherical harmonics expansion • Newton-Raphson method to solve the nonlinear system of equations • Modena electron model (analytical band structure)

  7. Theory

  8. Results 1D 40nm silicon N+NN+ structure Transport is in x-direction

  9. Results Biased at 0.5V Velocity overshoot is a sign of (quasi-)ballistic transport

  10. Results Scattering dominated Biased at 0.5V Quasi-ballistic

  11. Results Distribution function at 0.5V

  12. Results Distribution function at 0.5V

  13. Results Scattering dominated Linear response without zero order Quasi-ballistic

  14. Results Differential distribution function at equilibrium

  15. Conclusions

  16. Conclusions • Ballistic transport occurs in nanometric devices at high bias • The linear response of the distribution function shows ballistic peaks at zero bias in regions with large built-in fields • The ballistic peaks of the linear response can be negative • Linear response in nanometric devices with large built-in fields is fundamentally different from the bulk case
