Abstract: | Numerical simulation results derived from a Schrödinger–Poisson tool applied to scaled double-gate (DG) MOSFETs, supplemented by analytical characterizations of the pertinent physics, are presented to give insight concerning the near-ideal features of DG devices and to explain how the low-voltage drive current of the asymmetrical DG MOSFET, having only one predominant channel, can be comparable to, and even higher than, that of the symmetrical-gate counterpart designed to have the same off-state current. |
