This proposal focuses on the development of a new generation of quantum transport simulation tools tackling with atomic scale issues which become of paramount importance for understanding low dimensional semiconductor devices.
On the basis of a common Green’s function formalism, the complementary expertises of partners, ranging from state-of-the-art ab initio approach, to sophisticated tight-binding and effective mass models have been combined to develop multiscale 3D device simulation codes. It allowed an in-depth analysis of quantum transport properties and field effect transistor characteristics in realistic models of both top-down ultimate MOSFETs and bottom-up CVD-grown semiconductor nanowires.
