Full Band Simulation ofRTD Electron Transport

• Mechanics of an energy E and transverse momentum k integration.

• Unphysical effects when parabolic subbands are assumed:

  • Overshoot at RTD turnoff.
  • Spurious bistability in charge self-consistent simulation.

• Transverse subbands.

• Full band simulation eliminates these spurious simulation effects.
