Abstract :
This paper examines, by means of multi-subband-Monte-Carlo (MSMC) simulations, the prediction of the well known compact formula for back-scattering in nanoMOSFETs, analyzing the effect of carrier degeneracy and complex scattering mechanisms on the back-scattering. The paper also addresses the definition of an appropriate mean-free-path and its relationship to the low-field mobility
