Abstract
In this paper we use the density gradient (DG) simulation approach to study, in 3D, the effect of local oxide thickness fluctuations on the threshold voltage of decanano MOSFETs on a statistical scale. The random 2D surfaces used to represent the interface are constructed using the standard assumptions for the auto-correlation function of the interface. The importance of the quantum mechanical effects when studying oxide thickness fluctuations are illustrated in several simulation examples.Keywords
