Abstract :
Junctionless nanowire field effect transistors (JNFETs) are promising candidates for the next generation of ultrasmall, low power transistors. In the present paper, three-dimensional simulation results are presented on the performance of junctionless nanowire FETs. A full band Monte Carlo (MC) model is employed, modified to include quantum transport by self consistently solving the Schrodinger equation with a Poisson solver coupled to the full band MC transport equation. The capabilities of the model are demonstrated by simulating the performance of n-type In0.7Ga0.3As junctionless nanowire FETs including subthreshold swing.
