The Monte Carlo method applied to carrier transport in Si/SiGe quantum wells

Vettchinkina, Valeria LU ; Blom, Anders LU and Odnoblyudov, M A (2005) In International Journal of Modern Physics B 19(21). p.3353-3377
Abstract
We present a complete Monte Carlo simulation of the transport properties of a Si/SiGe quantum well. The scattering mechanisms, viz. intervalley phonons, acoustic phonons, interface roughness and impurity scattering (including resonant scattering), are considered in detail, and we derive analytic expressions for the scattering rates, in each case properly taking the quantized electron wave functions into account. The numerically obtained distribution function is used to discuss the influence of each scattering mechanism for different electric fields applied parallel to the interfaces and also different temperatures.
