NON-EQUILIBRIUM GREEN’S FUNCTIONS IN SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE MODELING
Based on a talk presented at the conference “Progress in Nonequilibrium Green’s Functions, Dresden, Germany, 19.-22. August 2002”.
We present an overview of semiconductor device modeling using non-equilibrium Green function techniques. The various efforts and their associated goals, problems, and solutions tend to naturally divide according to the dimensionality, 1D, 2D, or 3D, of the transport which we use to classify and organize the discussion. Our current efforts are largely focused on 2D and 3D modeling. The theory and approach laid out for 1D serves as the basis for 2D and 3D.
