We have also analyzed the channel conductance, the effect of a change in thickness, the average velocity of the charge carrier and the conductance efficiency in order to study the performance of silicon nanowire transistors in the nanometer region. The analysis was performed using the Fettoy, a numerical simulator for ballistic nanowire transistors using a simple top of the barrier （Natori） approach, which is composed of several matlab scripts. Our results show that hafnium oxide （HfO2） gate insulator material provides good thermal stability, a high recrystallization temperature and better interface qualities when compared with other gate insulator materials; also the effective oxide thickness of lifO2 is found to be 0.4 nm.展开更多

The simulations are based on a self-consistent solution of the two-dimensional （2D） Poisson equation and the Schr6dinger equation within the non-equilibrium Green＇s function formalism. Oxide thickness and gate dielectric are investigated in terms of drain current, on-off current ratio, off current, sub-threshold swing, drain induced barrier lowering, transconductance, drain conductance, and voltage. Simulation results illustrate that we can improve the device performance by proper selection of the effective oxide thickness.展开更多

Some alternate high dielectric constant materials to reduce the tunneling have also been studied. By comparing with the numerically reported results, the results match well with the existing reported work.展开更多
