英文摘要 | We present a new empirical pseudopotential (epm) calculation approach to simulate the million atom nanostructured semiconductor devices under potential bias using periodic boundary conditions. to treat the nonequilibrium condition, instead of directly calculating the scattering states from the source and drain, we calculate the stationary states by the linear combination of bulk band method and then decompose the stationary wave function into source and drain injecting scattering states according to an approximated top of the barrier splitting (tbs) scheme based on physical insight of ballistic and tunneling transports. the decomposed electronic scattering states are then occupied according to the source/drain fermi-levels to yield the occupied electron density which is then used to solve the potential, forming a self-consistent loop. the tbs is tested in a one-dimensional effective mass model by comparing with the direct scattering state calculation results. it is also tested in a three-dimensional 22 nm double gate ultra-thin-body field-effect transistor study, by comparing the tbs-epm result with the nonequilibrium green's function tight-binding result. we expected the tbs scheme will work whenever the potential in the barrier region is smoother than the wave function oscillations and it does not have local minimum, thus there is no multiple scattering as in a resonant tunneling diode, and when a three-dimensional problem can be represented as a quasi-one-dimensional problem, e. g., in a variable separation approximation. using our approach, a million atom nonequilibrium nanostructure device can be simulated with epm on a single processor computer.
