In recent years, the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) has begun to be used for predicting thermal transport in dielectrics and semicondutors at sub-micron scales. Most studies make a gray assumption and do not account for phonon dispersion or polarization in any detail. In this study, the problem of heat generation in a sub-micron silicon-on-insulator (SOI) transistor is addressed. A model, based on the solution to the BTE incorporating full phonon dispersion effects, is presented and used to study the SOI self-heating problem. A structured finite volume approach is used to solve the BTE. The results from the full phonon dispersion model are compared to predictions using the Fourier diffusion equation and also to predictions from the solution to the BTE using a semi-gray model which appears in literature. Significant differences are found between the models and confirm the need for an accounting for phonon dispersion and polarization effects.

SummaryUsing sophisticated computer programs and elaborate physical models, accurate radiative and collisional atomic data of astrophysical interest have been or are being calculated. The cases treated include radiative transitions between bound states in the 2p4and 2s2p5configurations of many ions in the oxygen isoelectronic sequence, the photoionisation of the ground state of neutral iron, the electron impact excitation of the fine-structure forbidden transitions within the 3p3ground configuration of CℓIII, Ar IV and K V, and the mass-production of radiative data for ions in the oxygen and fluorine isoelectronic sequences, as part of the international Opacity Project.
