Abstract

For the purpose of investigating the role of self-heating effects on the electrical characteristics of nano-scale devices, we implemented a two-dimensional Monte Carlo device simulator that self-consistently includes the solution of the energy balance equations for both, acoustic and optical phonons. We find less degradation in the current in smaller device structures because of the more pronounced velocity overshoot.
