Drift Diffusion Simulator Tool Development for MultiGate Field Effect Transistors (MuGFET) SungGeun Kim, Sriraman Damodaran, Ben Haley, Gerhard Klimeck

Objective:

  • Rappture tool development - drift diffusion simulator for relatively large-sized multigate FET.
  • Understand drift diffusion transport and its application/limitation

Approach:

  • # Utilize available drift diffusion simulator (PROPHET and PADRE)
  • User-friendly input interface implementation via Rappture
  • Energy balance equation for velocity overshoot in small device

Impact:

  • Powerful tool for semiconductor engineers: useful analysis options
  • Significantly reduced simulation time compared to quantum transport simulator

Results:

  • Quantative agreement of simulation result with experiment
  • Significant effects of the velocity overshoot on the on-current , subthreshold slope and transconductance.
  • Effects of Gaussian doping profile on on-current and DIBL/SS : trade-off (characteristic length ↑ : Ion↑ DIBL↓ SS ↑)
