A new Multi Subband Monte Carlo simulator for nano p-MOSFETs

This paper presents a new self-consistent multi- subband Monte Carlo (MSMC) simulator design to investigate quasi-ballistic transport in nano p-MOSFETs. The simulator adopts an accurate analytical description of the warped hole subbands. A first comparison between n - and p - MOSFET performance is reported.
