1 Ballistic nanotransistors Modeled on analysis by Mark Lundstrom C, Purdue. Unless otherwise indicated, all images are his. nteresting hybrid of classical transistor behavior, quantum confinement effects, and Landauer-Buttiker type ideas. evice parameters: Length: L > ~ 10 nm to avoid contributions of direct source-drain tunneling. irst look at effects of confinement and see what we can neglect. Subbands and quantum confinement his problem is essentially something we ve done several times before. One can solve the Schroedinger equation for neutral, noninteracting particles confined in two dimensions but etended in the third. his is effectively a 1d quantum system, with 1d subbands separated in energy by spacings that look like those between low-lying levels of a d particle in a bo. As usual, we recall that one can consider the envelope function of Bloch waves, and arrive at an identical equation for the single-particle levels for non-interacting electrons. 1
2 Subbands and quantum confinement ndividual 1d subbands are significantly higher in energy than the floor of the conduction band. Much weaker dependence ~0 on transverse position, too. Subbands and quantum confinement Must worry about energy vs. position of individual subbands, not just conduction band as in usual s.
3 Complete solution n generality, one must self-consistently solve the electrostatic and quantum mechanical problems. enerally this is requires numerical solution, but it is possible to come up with analytical epressions in certain limits. irst, we ll look qualitatively at what happens as gate and drain bias are varied. hen we ll consider three regimes: >> 0 ~ 0 > 0 -- nondegenerate carriers -- degenerate carriers -- general case. Nonequilibrium velocity momentum distributions Remember our Landauer formula discussions? We worked in 1d and considered the chemical potential at different places along a device: contact 1 contact 1 lead 1 lead µ µ 1 µ 1 µ µ 1 µ µ µ 1 µ 1 µ µ µ 1 µ 1 µ µ µ 1 Can do same thing here, but plot velocity momentum distributions as a function of position:

Nonequilibrium velocity momentum distributions Now fi gate bias. amine distributions as function of drain bias at top of barrier. At low, carriers pass over the barrier in both directions. As is increased, higher fraction of carriers getting over barrier are from the source. At sufficiently large, no carriers from drain reach top of barrier. urther increases in don t change the distribution of carriers at the top of the barrier! elocity saturation near source, without pinchoff! 4

Carrier distribution at top of barrier varies with, but total density in good still determined by gate voltage. Can use these pictures to derive quantitative model of ballistic. > 0 case, nondegenerate carriers or electrostatically nice which we can check if we want by solving Poisson eqn. everywhere, charge density in inversion layer controlled by -, even at top of barrier: tot C n d nd, n, e d right-moving carriers from source left-moving carriers from drain As increases, n d- decreases. o maintain the equality, for the source effectively increases - more carriers come in from the source. position along channel; 0 defined as top of barrier. 5

Same argument works for left-moving carriers, so their average speed is essentially identical to that of the right-movers. > 0 case, nondegenerate carriers Resulting current density: 0 v W end 0 v end W en 1 n 1 n 0 n 0 n tot d d dv d d 0 0 Ahh, but we can figure out the ratio n d n d- : n n d d N d N d ep kb ep e k B where N m* kb πh d ffective density of states 6

Can derive analytic epressions under these conditions for nondegenerate, degenerate, or arbitrary conditions. Conductance near zero source-drain bias is still finite, even when device is ballistic. A melding of classical MOS theory and a Landauer way of thinking about such problems. 11

The story so far: Can use semiconductor structures to confine free carriers electrons and holes. Can get away with writing Schroedinger-like equation for Bloch envelope function to understand, e.g., -confinement
