Multi-Scale Approach to Semiconductor Device Simulation.

Abstract

A brief summary of research accomplishments during the past three years is given, along with a list of 18 published papers that contain the details of this work. Also included is a list of invited presentations of ARO sponsored research. These accomplishments include: essential completion of our full band Monte Carlo simulator with the first principles derivation of deformation potentials from the same ionic potentials used to calculate the crystal band-structure; development of a powerful density functional based numerical method to calculate quantum capacitance in nanostructures including Coulomb, size-quantization and many-body contributions to the "charging" energy; and establishment of an entirely new "quantum Monte Carlo" method based on Schroedinger's equation for simulating dissipative quantum transport, a method that bridges the gap between phase-incoherent semiclassical transport and phase-coherent quantum transport.
