Abstract
New implementations in MBE growth techniques allow high accuracy in δ-doping profiles in Silicon crystals. In this work we present a self-consistent numerical calculations of the electronic structure of δ-FETs, field effect transistors where electric transport channel is a quasi-two-dimensional plan of Antimonide doping in a Silicon crystal. We made the calculations to the heavy and light electrons at 77 and 300K varying the gate voltage in devices with one to three coupled deltas. We obtain the effective potential, the sub-bands and respective electronic densities, basic calculations to point at optimization of the device. We made considerations on theirs DC - capacitances and free electron density spreadings to achieve the gate-voltage best performance.
