Download or read book Strain-Induced Effects in Advanced MOSFETs written by Viktor Sverdlov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strain is used to boost performance of MOSFETs. Modeling of strain effects on transport is an important task of modern simulation tools required for device design. The book covers all relevant modeling approaches used to describe strain in silicon. The subband structure in stressed semiconductor films is investigated in devices using analytical k.p and numerical pseudopotential methods. A rigorous overview of transport modeling in strained devices is given.
