Ravaioli, Umberto Lee, Christopher HeeChang 2011-05-07T12:43:44Z 2011-05-07T12:43:44Z 10000-01-01 1994 A Monte Carlo simulator for silicon devices has been developed. The band structure data for this self-consistent device simulator were computed using the empirical pseudopotential method. The ensemble Monte Carlo technique used in the simulations is described in detail. A homogeneous simulator, based on the same transport physics, is used to calibrate the device simulator as well as to indicate the shortcomings of more traditional simulators such as drift-diffusion based models, hydrodynamic and energy balance based models, and nonparabolic band approximation Monte Carlo models. A conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is simulated as a test case to validate the simulator. Finally, a floating gate memory element (non-volatile memory) is also examined. In this simulation, the Monte Carlo simulator is used as a post-processor to PISCES IIB in the interest of execution time. Despite the lack of self-consistency and rigor, the simulator is able to produce results which are in good agreement with experimental data. Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:43:44Z (GMT).
