Atomistic Full-Band Simulations of Monolayer MoS2 Transistors
arXiv:1304.2990 · doi:10.1063/1.4837455
Abstract
We study the transport properties of deeply scaled monolayer MoS2 n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) using full-band ballistic quantum transport simulations with an atomistic tight-binding Hamiltonian obtained from density functional theory. Our simulations suggest that monolayer MoS2 MOSFETs can provide near-ideal subthreshold slope, and suppression of drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) and gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL). However, these full-band simulations also exhibit limited transconductance. These ballistic simulations also exhibit negative differential resistance (NDR) in the output characteristics associated with the narrow width in energy of the lowest conduction band, but this NDR may be substantially reduced or eliminated by scattering in MoS2.
