NANO-ARCHIMEDES FOR STUDY OF ELECTRON CHARACTERISTIC IN BALLISTIC CONDUCTION MODE

Abstract

This project is continuous work of minor project “Study of semiconductor devices using Archimedes tool”. In this major project, I use the upgraded version of Archimedes called Nano- Archimedes. It is also a member of TCAD family. Nano-Archimedes help to study the flow of particles in semiconductor devices at nano level. Nano-Archimedes uses Wigner Monte Carlo formulation to find the probability of location of particles in device. Nano-Archimedes code considers the flow of electron as Ballistic conduction, including annihilation. For fast calculation Monte Carlo method is use. For better understanding thesis is divided into 2 sections. First section contains the Introduction of different terms and second section provides the Algorithm and code of Nano-archimedes.
