Abstract:
We report on the modeling of ultra-small MOS devices using a newly developed full band device simulator. The simulation tool is based on a novel approach, featuring a hybrid Monte-Carlo/Cellular Automata simulation engine self-consistently coupled with a 2D and 3D multi-grid Poisson solver.
