  • Abstract
    An application of Monte Carlo particle and relaxation time approximation modeling to quarter-micron Si MOSFETs is presented. Through a comparison between these two nonstatic models and a conventional model, nonstationary carrier transport is shown to dominate in 0.4 μm or less channel devices, with peak velocities exceeding 1.0×107 cm/s. It is shown that the relaxation time approximation model tends to overestimate nonstationary carrier dynamics, especially the energy distribution
