Abstract

Electron mobility in narrow, rectangular silicon nanowires is calculated using a Schrödinger-Monte-CarloPoisson transport simulator. Mobility lowering due to the carrier scattering with confined phonons in narrow wires and the influence of surface roughness within Ando's model are investigated.
