This work demonstrates the high-frequency characteristics of In0.53Ga0.47As nanowire with scaled wire width by implementing TCAD simulations. The physical models and correlated parameters have been calibrated to experiments in literature 19. As is 10 nm, electron density peaks are no longer located close oxide/semiconductor interface. Instead, merge volume inversion effects appear due strong quantum confinement. lead higher cut-off frequency reduced total transport delay time. To a better...
