Abstract
The fundamentally sound non-Equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) approach provides the theoretical basis for NEMO 1-D as the first nanoelectronic TCAD tool. Effects of quantum charging, bandstructure and incoherent scattering from alloy disorder, interface roughness, acoustic phonons, and polar optical phonons are modeled. Engineers and experimentalists who desire a black-box design tool as well as theorists who are interested in a detailed investigation of the physics have found NEMO useful. Access to this comprehensive theoretical framework is accommodated by a graphical user interface (GUI) which configures the usage of a collection of models that trade off physical content with speed and memory requirements. This article describes the NEMO origin, provides modern references to NEGF, accumulates the diverse references to the NEMO results, and provides a perspective on NEGF in future TCAD tools.
