Abstract

The double gate (DG) silicon MOSFET with an extremely short-channel length has the appropriate features to constitute the devices for nanoscale circuit design. To develop a physical model for extremely scaled DG MOSFETs, the drain current in the channel must be accurately determined under the application of drain and gate voltages. However, modeling the transport mechanism for the nanoscale structures requires the use of overkill methods and models in terms of their complexity and computation time (self-consistent, quantum computations, ...). Therefore, new methods and techniques are required to overcome these constraints. In this paper, a new approach based on the fuzzy logic computation is proposed to investigate nanoscale DG MOSFETs. The proposed approach has been implemented in a device simulator to show the impact of the proposed approach on the nanoelectronic circuit design. The approach is general and thus is suitable for any type of nanoscale structure investigation problems in the nanotechnology industry.
