Abstract
The device physics and technology issues for III-V transistors are examined from a simulation perspective. To examine device physics, an InGaAs HEMT structure similar to those being explored experimentally is analyzed. The physics of this device is explored using detailed, quantum mechanical simulations based on the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism. In this chapter, we: (1) elucidate the essential physics of III-V HEMTs, (2) identify key technology challenges that need to be addressed, and (3) estimate the expected performance advantage for III-V transistors.
