Abstract
The design of Monte Carlo FET simulations is discussed, with specific attention to the methods used to describe quantum confinement effects. A new model is presented, which employs self-consistent coupling of Schrodinger, Poisson and Monte Carlo algorithms, and explicit calculation of the scattering rates between confined and unconfined states. Comparisons between the new model and a standard semi-classical Monte Carlo model are presented for a 0.1 μm gate-length In0.52Al0.48As/In0.53 Ga0.47As/InP MODFET. Whilst the quantum model yields minor corrections in the predicted output characteristics, it is found that these results can be achieved without repeated iterations of the Schrodinger equation.
