Description

We present first-principle analytical derivations and numerically modeled data to show that the gate capacitance per unit gate area CG of extremely thin undoped-channel single-gate and double-gate field-effect transistor geometries in the extreme quantum limit with single-subband occupancy can be written as 1/CG = 1/COX + NG/CDOS + NG/ηCWF, where NG is the number of gates, COX is the oxide capacitance per unit area, CDOS is the density-of-states capacitance per unit area, CWF is the wave function spreading capacitance per unit area, and η is a constant on the order of 1
