Analytical Model of Subthreshold Drain Current Characteristics of Ballistic Silicon Nanowire Transistors

A physically based subthreshold current model for silicon nanowire transistors working in the ballistic regime is developed. Based on the electric potential distribution obtained from a 2D Poisson equation and by performing some perturbation approximations for subband energy levels, an analytical mo...
