Abstract :
In this paper, the influence of intravalley acoustic phonon scattering on transport through silicon nanowires is studied. The focus lies on a comparison of the full problem with approximate methods regarding the self-consistent electrostatics and current computation. In addition, the scaling behavior with increasing device lengths is shown.
