| Abstract | In this paper, we employ a newly-developed one-dimensional multi-subband Monte Carlo (1DMSMC) simulation module to study electron transport in nanowire structures. The 1DMSMC simulation module is integrated into the GSS TCAD simulator GARAND coupling a MC electron trajectory simulation with a 3D Poisson-2D Schrödinger solver, and accounting for the modified acoustic phonon, optical phonon, and surface roughness scattering mechanisms. We apply the simulator to investigate the effect of the overlap factor, scattering mechanisms, material and geometrical properties on the mobility in silicon nanowire field-effect transistors (NWTs). This paper emphasizes the importance of using 1D models that include correctly quantum confinement and allow for a reliable prediction of the performance of NWTs at the scaling limits. Our simulator is a valuable tool for providing optimal designs for ultra-scaled NWTs, in terms of performance and reliability. |
