Electron Transport in Silicon Nanowires: The Role of Acoustic Phonon Confinement and Surface Roughness Scattering

E. B. Ramayya, D. Vasileska, S. M. Goodnick +1

We investigate the effects of electron and acoustic-phonon confinement on the low-field electron mobility of thin square silicon nanowires (SiNWs) that are surrounded by SiO${}_2$ an…
