Abstract :
Impact of surface and transport, orientation on hole transport in p-type silicon nanowire MOSFET has been studied using atomistic 10-band sp3s*-SO tight-binding valence band model along with semi classical ballistic top-of-the-barrier approach for tri-gated devices. (100) and (110) surface orientations for <100> and <110> transport orientations were studied. Study of channel current and charge show that, due to heavy hole mass anisotropy, different confinement surfaces impact device performance differently.
