  • Abstract
    Heating effects are investigated in dual-gate devices using an in-house thermal particle-based device simulator. Our simulation results demonstrate that the dual-gate device structure is advantageous even though there is slightly higher current degradation due to lattice heating compared to conventional single gate structures, since the magnitude of the on-current is 1.5-1.8 times larger in this structure. Thus, one can trade off a slight increase in current degradation due to lattice heating for more current drive.
