This book presents research dedicated to solving scientific and
technological problems in many areas of electronics, photonics and
renewable energy. Energy and information are interconnected and are
essential elements for the development of human society.
Transmission, processing and storage of information requires energy
consumption, while the efficient use and access to new energy
sources requires new information (ideas and expertise) and the
design of novel systems such as photovoltaic devices, fuel cells
and batteries. Semiconductor physics creates the knowledge base for
the development of information (computers, cell phones, etc.) and
energy (photovoltaic) technologies. The exchange of ideas and
expertise between these two technologies is critical and expands
beyond semiconductors. Continued progress in information and
renewable energy technologies requires miniaturization of devices
and reduction of costs, energy and material consumption. The latest
generation of electronic devices is now approaching nanometer scale
dimensions, new materials are being introduced into electronics
manufacturing at an unprecedented rate, and alternative
technologies to mainstream CMOS are evolving. Nanotechnology is
widely accepted as a source of potential solutions in securing
future progress for information and energy technologies.
Semiconductor Nanotechnology features chapters that cover the
following areas: atomic scale materials design, bio- and molecular
electronics, high frequency electronics, fabrication of
nanodevices, magnetic materials and spintronics, materials and
processes for integrated and subwave optoelectronics, nanoCMOS, new
materials for FETs and other devices, nanoelectronics system
architecture, nano optics and lasers, non-silicon materials and
devices, chemical and biosensors, quantum effects in devices, nano
science and technology applications in the development of novel
solar energy devices, and fuel cells and batteries.

Starting with the simplest semiclassical approaches and ending with
the description of complex fully quantum-mechanical methods for
quantum transport analysis of state-of-the-art devices,
Computational Electronics: Semiclassical and Quantum Device
Modeling and Simulation provides a comprehensive overview of the
essential techniques and methods for effectively analyzing
transport in semiconductor devices. With the transistor reaching
its limits and new device designs and paradigms of operation being
explored, this timely resource delivers the simulation methods
needed to properly model state-of-the-art nanoscale devices. The
first part examines semiclassical transport methods, including
drift-diffusion, hydrodynamic, and Monte Carlo methods for solving
the Boltzmann transport equation. Details regarding numerical
implementation and sample codes are provided as templates for
sophisticated simulation software. The second part introduces the
density gradient method, quantum hydrodynamics, and the concept of
effective potentials used to account for quantum-mechanical space
quantization effects in particle-based simulators. Highlighting the
need for quantum transport approaches, it describes various quantum
effects that appear in current and future devices being
mass-produced or fabricated as a proof of concept. In this context,
it introduces the concept of effective potential used to
approximately include quantum-mechanical space-quantization effects
within the semiclassical particle-based device simulation scheme.
Addressing the practical aspects of computational electronics, this
authoritative resource concludes by addressing some of the open
questions related to quantum transport not covered in most books.
Complete with self-study problems and numerous examples throughout,
this book supplies readers with the practical understanding
required to create their own simulators.
It is generally acknowledged that modeling and simulation are
preferred alternatives to trial and error approaches to
semiconductor fabrication in the present environment, where the
cost of process runs and associated mask sets is increasing
exponentially with successive technology nodes. Hence, accurate
physical device simulation tools are essential to accurately
predict device and circuit performance. Accurate thermal modelling
and the design of microelectronic devices and thin film structures
at the micro- and nanoscales poses a challenge to electrical
engineers who are less familiar with the basic concepts and ideas
in sub-continuum heat transport. This book aims to bridge that gap.
Efficient heat removal methods are necessary to increase device
performance and device reliability. The authors provide readers
with a combination of nanoscale experimental techniques and
accurate modelling methods that must be employed in order to
determine a device's temperature profile.

This book surveys the advanced simulation methods needed for proper
modeling of state-of-the-art nanoscale devices. It systematically
describes theoretical approaches and the numerical solutions that
are used in explaining the operation of both power devices as well
as nano-scale devices. It clearly explains for what types of
devices a particular method is suitable, which is the most critical
point that a researcher faces and has to decide upon when modeling
semiconductor devices.

Computational Electronics is devoted to state of the art numerical
techniques and physical models used in the simulation of
semiconductor devices from a semi-classical perspective.
Computational electronics, as a part of the general Technology
Computer Aided Design (TCAD) field, has become increasingly
important as the cost of semiconductor manufacturing has grown
exponentially, with a concurrent need to reduce the time from
design to manufacture. The motivation for this volume is the need
within the modeling and simulation community for a comprehensive
text which spans basic drift-diffusion modeling, through energy
balance and hydrodynamic models, and finally particle based
simulation. One unique feature of this book is a specific focus on
numerical examples, particularly the use of commercially available
software in the TCAD community. The concept for this book
originated from a first year graduate course on computational
electronics, taught now for several years, in the Electrical
Engineering Department at Arizona State University. Numerous
exercises and projects were derived from this course and have been
included. The prerequisite knowledge is a fundamental understanding
of basic semiconductor physics, the physical models for various
device technologies such as pndiodes, bipolar junction transistors,
and field effect transistors.
The advent of semiconductor structures whose characteristic
dimensions are smaller than the mean free path of carriers has led
to the development of novel devices, and advances in theoretical
understanding of mesoscopic systems or nanostructures. This book
has been thoroughly revised and provides a much-needed update on
the very latest experimental research into mesoscopic devices and
develops a detailed theoretical framework for understanding their
behaviour. Beginning with the key observable phenomena in
nanostructures, the authors describe quantum confined systems,
transmission in nanostructures, quantum dots, and single electron
phenomena. Separate chapters are devoted to interference in
diffusive transport, temperature decay of fluctuations, and
non-equilibrium transport and nanodevices. Throughout the book, the
authors interweave experimental results with the appropriate
theoretical formalism. The book will be of great interest to
graduate students taking courses in mesoscopic physics or
nanoelectronics, and researchers working on semiconductor
nanostructures.
