Abstract :
A new free-flight optimization technique has been developed to reduce the CPU time by more than one order. Based on rigorous treatment of carrier scattering processes, especially for photo-generation and impact ionization, hot carrier effects for MOSFET´s are investigated in detail, from the temperature and energy distribution viewpoints. The analysis revealed that the hot carrier effects are mainly dominated by carrier temperature, but are suppressed by im pact ionization.
