Monte Carlo study of the electrothermal phenomenon in silicon-on-insulator and silicon-germanium-on-insulator metal-oxide field-effect transistors
RWK-4: This paper demonstrates application of the Leeds electrothermal Monte-Carlo algorithm to high-performance FETs. It evaluates the impact of short-channel-effect suppression strategies on self-heating, and is directly applicable to future CMOS technologies. This simulation expertise led to the award of a £1.5M EPSRC grant to Leeds, Heriot-Watt, Surrey & Warwick Universities (EP/H051899, PI:Kelsall, £267,074) on Ge/Si single photon detectors. It also led to a new research activity in Lille on electrothermal simulation of nanowire MISFETs (J. Applied Physics 108, 084506 (2010)), and an invited paper at the 2013 International Workshop on Computational Electronics, the leading meeting in the field.
