Ballistic transport in Si, Ge, and GaAs nanowire MOSFETs


Abstract:

The influence of various channel materials and crystallographic orientations on the performance of nanowire MOSFETs operating in pure ballistic regime is investigated using 3D quantum-mechanical simulations. We consider three different materials (Si, Ge, GaAs) in nanowire transistors fabricated on a 〈010〉-wafer with an arbitrary channel orientation and provide a better understanding of the transport phenomena that may occur in each device configuration. © 2005 IEEE.
