Problem:

  • AlInAs barrier nMOSFET has big barrier injection and confined maximum On-current.

Objective:

  • Use AlAsSb barrier nMOSFET to better confine electrons in the channel.
  • Ef can rise higher before it enters the barrier bands and injection velocity starts to drop.

Approach:

  • Tight binding method used to calculate band structure.
  • Top of the barrier model used to calculate transport.

Results:

  • AlAsSb barrier suppress barrier injection because of better confinement.
  • AlAsSb barrier does not give better on-state current because L valley bands it slows the injection velocity before Ef enters barrier.
