Abstract
- Electron transport in Si double-gate junctionless transistors (JLTs) is simulated on the basis of the multisubband Monte Carlo method, considering acoustic phonons, intervalley phonons, ionized impurities (IIs), and surface roughness (SR) scattering. It is demonstrated that JLTs can actually minimize the mobility degradation caused by SR scattering and improve the current drivability. On the other hand, II scattering is confirmed to degrade the current drivability compared with conventional MOSFETs with an intrinsic channel. However, the performance degradation in JLTs due to II scattering is shown to be insignificant, owing to the screening effect of free carriers and the forward scattering properties of high-speed carriers. Furthermore, by extracting a backscattering coefficient, the screening effect and the forward scattering properties are shown to more mitigate II scattering as the gate voltage increases.
