Abstract

In this paper, MODFET devices with various gate length are simulated using the Monte-Carlo method. The number of superparticle is 5000 and the Poisson equation is solved to obtain field distribution. The structure of MODFET is n-AlGaAs/i-AlGaAs/iGaAs and doping concentration of n-AlGaAs layer is 1${\times}10^{17}/cm^{3}$ and the thickness is 500.angs., and the thickness of i-AlGaAs is 50$\AA$. The devices with gate length 0.2$\mu$m, 0.5$\mu$m, 1.0$\mu$m respctively are simulated and the current-voltage curves and transport characteristics of that devices are obtained. Occupancy of each subband and electron energy distribution and conduction energy band in channel have been analyzed to obtain transport characteristics, and particles transposed from source to drain have been analyzed to current-voltage curves. Current level is highest for the device of Lg=0.2$\mu$m and transconductance of this device is 310mS/mm.
