Quantum Transport in a Silicon Nanowire FET Transistor: Hot Electrons and Local Power Dissipation

A review and perspective is presented of the classical, semi-classical and fully quantum routes to the simulation of electro-thermal phenomena in ultra-scaled silicon nanowire field-effect transistors. It is shown that the physics of ultra-scaled devices requires at least a coupled electron quantum...
