Classical and quantum energy-transport equatons for semiconductors

01.01.2008 - 31.05.2012
Forschungsförderungsprojekt
Due to the increasing miniaturization of semiconductor devices, temperature and quantum effects become more and more important. Usually, these effects are included in industrial codes for highly integrated semiconductor circuits by compact models or correction terms. However, it is more and more difficult to model the parasitic effects in modern devices by simple corrections, and it seems necessary to include more physical informations into the models including, for instance, the temperature as an independent variable. In this project, we will model, analyze and numerically solve the classical and quantum energy-transport equations. The main goals of this project are to understand the influence of the electron temperature on the particle current, the heating of the semiconductor crystal, and the interplay of the temperature with quantum effects.
