| Abstract | In this paper, we present a computationally efficient, two-dimensional quantum mechanical sim- ulation scheme for modeling electron transport in thin body, fully depleted, n-channel, silicon- on-insulator transistors in the ballistic limit. The proposed simulation scheme, which solves the non-equilibrium Green’s function equations self-consistently with Poisson’s equation, is based on an expansion of the active device Hamiltonian in decoupled mode-space. Simulation results from this method are benchmarked against solutions from a rigorous two-dimensional discretization of the device Hamiltonian in real-space. While doing so, the inherent approximations, regime of va- lidity and the computational efficiency of the mode-space solution are highlighted and discussed. Additionally, quantum boundary conditions are rigorously derived and the effects of strong off- equilibrium transport are examined. This paper shows that the decoupled mode-space solution is an efficient and accurate simulation method for modeling electron transport in nanoscale, silicon- on-insulator transistors. |
