Abstract

A method for incorporating 2D quantum mechanical effects into a full-band Cellular Monte Carlo simulator is described and applied to the simulation of Quantum Well Field Effect Transistors (QWFETs). Incorporating all relevant scattering mechanisms, good agreement is obtained between simulation and experiment in the case of a device with an InGaAs channel. The effect of scaling the QW width is also investigated.
