Abstract :
In this paper we mutually compare advanced modeling approaches for the determination of the drain current in nanoscale MOSFETs. Transport models range from Drift-Diffusion to direct solution of the Boltzmann Transport equation with the Monte-Carlo methods. Template devices representative of 22 nm Double-Gate and 32 nm FDSOI transistors were used as a common benchmark to highlight the differences between the quantitative predictions of different approaches. Our results set a benchmark to assess modeling tools for nanometric MOSFETs.
