2 Outline Electronic transport problems and solutions Semiclassical transport theory Boltzmann transport equation and its solutions Simulation vs The procedure Parallel ensemble algorithm Inherently parallel and syncronous Why and When Use Validity of Assumptions Incentive for using Applications
3 Spectrum of Approaches to Electronic Transport and Systems The Big Picture Physics Engineering Device Circuit System Quantum mechanical Semiclassical Device Circuit Logic Driftdiffusion Relaxationtime approx MC RTA DD Electrical Behavioral Timing Switch Gate RTL Functional Structural Behavioral
4 Semiclassical Transport Theory Central assumption a single carrier distribution function, f(r,k,t), exists which may be used to compute statistical expectation values for macroscopic current flows Corner-stone the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) Equation of motion for f(r,k,t), the probability of finding a particle with crystal momentum h k at position r and time t f t + v rf qε p f = dp' [ f(p')s(p',p) f(p)s(p,p') ] Macroscopic quantity A(r,t) = C A(r,k,t) f(r,k,t) d 3k e.g., J(r,t) = q 4π3 v(k) f(r,k,t) d3k
5 Solutions to the Boltzmann Transport Equation BTE inverse 2nd moment 1st moment Path integral Balance equation Drift-diffusion Current continuity Poisson numerical statistical f( T e,v d ) τ m, τ E µ, D Iterative Displaced Maxwellian Semiempirical transport eq. Semiconductor equations µ(f), D(F) Hot-electron effects
6 Simulation vs Approach Nonlinear integro-differential equation Approximation Physical model Transformation Partial differential equations Numerical model Path integral Finite difference Finite element Discretization Particle model Numerical simulation Solution
7 Simulation vs : An Example Example Calculation of π: Collect rain drops in both the circle and its circumscribed square, and find the fraction that lies in the circle I = 1 1 x2 dx dy = π 4 = Simulation Approach Approach I = x 2 dx I n = 1 n n i = 1 1 (i/n) 2 Generate random pairs (x r,y r ) using uniformly distributed random numbers r [0,1], and count the fraction that lies inside the circle: r r I n π/4 Simulation Number of Trials 6 10 CPU Time (sec) Simulation Number of Trials
8 Approach to Device Simulation Procedure Path traversal: governed by classical laws of motion and terminated at a time t f selected on a random value of the function exp( Γt) ( time of free flight ) t f = lnr/γ Scattering: from the state at the end of this traverse to a new state according to the microscopic probability of the scattering process, also determined using random numbers Estimator The distribution of the states (k i, E i ) on a k-space grid becomes a representation of f(k). An estimator is obtained from: N f A(k A = i ) N f i = 1
9 Visualizing the Process t = 0 B.C.(0) transient t = n t B.C.(t) steady state S(0) = S 0 S(t) Computational box z Free-flight scattering sampling Synchronous-ensemble method t (n-1) t t (n) Distance real scattering self-scattering t 1 t 2 t i t N t i scattering events Time t (n-1) t f t (n) Time
10 Sequential vs Parallel Flowchart Preliminary calculation Initial condition of motion Parallel Ensemble Charge assignment Poisson solver n = 1 to N Single-particle Ensemble average A = 1 N A i N i = n = 1 to M Single-particle Sub-ensemble average M A 1 = 1 A i M i = 1 k = N/M n = 1 to M Single-particle Sub-ensemble average A k = 1 M A i M i = 1 No t = t + t t > t? max Stop Yes Ensemble average N/M A = 1 A k N/M k= 1
11 Validity of Assumptions Drift-diffusion formalism depends on the 1st moment of the BTE (e.g., µ, D) Quasi-thermal equilibrium: T e T L Local-field approximation: v(r) = µε(r) Relaxation-time approximation depends on the 2nd moment of the BTE (e.g., v, E ) Any perturbation of the distribution function, f, from the local equilibrium distribution, f o, will relax back to f o within a relaxation time τ R Valid when scattering is dominated by either isotropic or elastic mechanisms Semiclassical transport theory (BTE) Instantaneous collision: Frequent scattering: τ c << τ τ << τ d, L > Λ
12 Applications of the Semiclassical Transport Theory QMT Iterative/MC RTA DD PKM L ~ µm L ~ 0.25 µm L >> 0.5 µm nonlocality of scattering - strong field - strong scattering - dense systems - small systems submicron devices - spatial/temporal nonlocal effects - high-field transport - ultrafast phenomena - 2D quantization - memory effects - submicron devices - transients - moderate field - high carrier density long device - steady state - low field - limited hot carrier effect long device - equilibrium - low field - low carrier density Approach Generate a solution as efficient as possible while retaining the desired level of accuracy
13 Incentive for Using Parallel Ensemble From the physics point of view Study of submicron/deep-submicron devices requires new device physics, in addition to new technology and market demand, since most assumptions made in conventional approaches (DD) will no longer be valid The gap between present MC models and formulations of quantum transport beyond the BTE is very wide for nearly all devices of current technological importance From the algorithm point of view The algorithm is simple, the only drawback is CPU intensive Ensemble is inherently parallel and syncronous From the applications point of view When modeling of deep-submicron devices is routinely needed, with the power of high performance parallel supercomputing facilities, the approach to device simulation will be of commercial value, not just a research tool
14 Applications Deep-submicron device simulation Coupled with Poisson equation: MOSFET s, BJT s, Coupled with Schrödinger and Poisson equations: HEMT s, HBT s, QW s, resonant tunneling devices, Ultrafast science Coupled with Maxwell s equation: photocarrier excitation and relaxation, photodetectors, photoconductive switches, electro-optic sampling, Bulk material and transport study Novel material properties, new device physics and phenomena, Extraction of transport parameters (µ, D, τ m, τ E ) for conventional device simulation
15 Conclusion Two driving forces for using Continued decrease in device dimensions Assumptions made in conventional techniques are no longer valid Continued increase in CPU speed high performance parallel computing Two characteristics of Exact solution to the BTE without any a priori assumption on the distribution function Inherently parallel algorithm Conclusion: It won t be too long before the approach to device simulation steps out of R&D labs and becomes a routine simulation tool
