Analytical and self-consistent quantum mechanical model for a surrounding gate MOS nanowire operated in JFET mode KU Leuven University of Antwerp
We derive an analytical model for the electrostatics and the drive current in a silicon nanowire operating in JFET mode. We show that there exists a range of nanowire radii and doping densities for which the nanowire JFET satisfies reasonable device characteristics. For thin nanowires we have developed a self-consistent quantum mechanical model to obtain the electronic structure. © Springer Science+Business Media LLC 2008.
