It was recently shown that the quantum mechanical results of the Landauer theory of conduction, applied to a simple one-layer channel FET, can be recast in the traditional drift-diffusion form but with the mobility and injection velocity redefined in a new context. Based on that, we have performed two-dimensional Poisson-Schrödinger-Continuity calculations for both long drift-diffusion and short ballistic quantum well FETs. Very good agreement with many-layer, state-of-the-art InGaAs devices has been achieved provided that only one parameter, the saturation velocity υsat of the mobility function, is rescaled so that our calculated drain current agrees with the experimental value at very large gate voltages VG. This single value of υsat has been used at all other VG. Our calculations are not only a test of the equivalence described above but valuable information about the sub-threshold regime and especially the leakage currents is obtained. This information is usually absent in rigorous Landauertype-or equivalently non-equilibrium Green functions-calculations which are performed in simplified FET systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
