摘要
Pseudomorphic delta-doped ultrasubmicrometer-gate high-electron mobility transistors have been modeled using a full-band cellular Monte Carlo simulator. Reasonable agreement between experimental and numerical results is obtained for a 70-nm gate length. We discuss the scaling of this device to shorter gate lengths and the role played by various dimensions in the structure. Devices with 20-nm gate lengths should produce f(T)s above 1.5 THz without difficulty. This paper demonstrates the power of particle-based simulation tools in capturing the relevant physics responsible for device operation and key to performance optimization.
