摘要
In the present paper the problem of interface roughness scattering is treated non-perturbatively by incorporating the effects of scattering as a boundary condition for the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE). This provides a basis for the development of a semi-classical model of the interface roughness scattering mechanism applicable to the Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of electron transport in the Si n-MOSFET. The model is based on the Boltzmann-Fuchs method for the solution of the BTE. This method has shown to be computationally efficient and is naturally suited to the semi-classical spirit of the BTE and its direct solution via the MC method.
