  • Abstract
    A three-dimensional simulation using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is being used to determine transmission through FinFETs. A waveform representing a particle is analyzed before and after it goes through the channel using a three-dimensional spatial sine transform to produce functions of energy. The ratio of these two functions is used to calculate transmission. From the transmission, the quantum conductance of the channel can be calculated.
