Mobility Variation with Depth VGS = 14V. Lots of Screening. Coulomb Mobility effect only very close to interface. Surface Roughness mobility dominates VGS = 2V. Less Screening. Coulomb Mobility dominates
Current Density Variation with Depth Peak of the current density is some distance away from the interface

Screened Coulomb Scattering Mobility • Coulomb scattering decreases rapidly with increase in depth inside the semiconductor • Oxide charges located away from the interface have less effect on Coulomb scattering • Screening is directly proportional to the inversion layer charge density • Scattering rate is inversely proportional to electron temperature (energy) • Scattering rate is directly proportional to the density of oxide charges and occupied interface traps
Future Work • Implement oxide charging - interface trap charging model in simulator • Implement a robust surface roughness mobility model • High temperature high power simulations • Modeling of different Power MOSFET structures
