Particle-Based Simulations of Microscopic Thermal Properties of Confined Systems

Abstract

We discuss in this report the final results of a research program whose goal was the development of a modeling approach for the thermal management of solid-state devices at the microscopic level. By the inclusion of the phonon dynamics within the framework of charge transport, we implemented extremely efficient microscopic models in CAD tools for the design of electron devices where the generation and the transport of thermal energy are functionally coupled with their electrical specifications.
