TLDR
In this paper, a program to numerically simulate quantum transport in double gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is described, using a Green's function approach and a simple treatment of scattering based on the idea of so-called Buttiker probes.
Abstract
A program to numerically simulate quantum transport in double gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is described. The program uses a Green's function approach and a simple treatment of scattering based on the idea of so-called Buttiker probes. The double gate device geometry permits an efficient mode space approach that dramatically lowers the computational burden and permits use as a design tool. Also implemented for comparison are a ballistic solution of the Boltzmann transport equation and the drift-diffusion approaches. The program is described and some examples of the use of nanoMOS for 10 nm double gate MOSFETs are presented.

Photocurrent imaging and efficient photon detection in a graphene transistor

TL;DR: It is shown that at a certain gate bias, the impact of the metal on the channel potential profile extends into the channel for more than one-third of the total channel length from both source and drain sides; hence, most of the channel is affected by the metal.
