Abstract
We used an ensemble Monte Carlo simulator to study both the dc and transient behavior of a double gate silicon-on-insulator transistor (DGSOI) operated as a velocity modulation transistor (VMT) and as a conventional field effect transistor (FET). Operated as a VMT, the DGSOI transistor provides switching times shorter than 1ps
regardless of the channel length, with a significant current modulation
factor at room temperature. The same device operated as a FET provides much longer switching times which, in addition, increase with the channel length.
