Abstract

In this paper we discuss the expected impact of quantum effects highly scaled CMOS circuits. On the base of 1-d numerical simulations for transport in mesoscopic electronic systems we develop extended SPICE-type device models. With these SPICE models the influence of quantum effects to the functionality of classical circuit concepts can be studied. Using these results it is our intention to develop circuits with a higher robustness against these quantum effects. For the illustration of our simulation concept we discuss some results of some circuit examples.
