Quantum Transport in a Silicon Nanowire FET Transistor: Hot Electrons and Local Power Dissipation

A review and perspective is presented of the classical, semiclassical and fully quantum routes to the simulation of electrothermal phenomena in ultrascaled silicon nanowire fieldeffect transistors. It is shown that the physics of ultrascaled devices requires at least a coupled electron quantum trans...
