Here we present a new model which is based on an analytic expression for the distribution function. In particular, the distribution function model accounts explicitly for a hot and a cold carrier population in the drain region of MOS transistors. The parameters are determined by three even moments obtained from a solution of a six moments transport model. Together with a nonparabolic description of the density of states accurate closed form macroscopic impact ionization models can be derived based on familiar microscopic descriptions. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9708275-7-1 |
