We propose a methodology for the simulation of electrostatic confinement wells in transistors at cryogenic temperatures. This is considered in the context of 22-nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator transistors due to their potential for imple-menting quantum bits in scalable quantum computing systems. To overcome thermal fluctuations and improve decoherence times in most quantum bit implementations, they must be operated at cryogenic temperatures. We review the dominant sources of electric field at these low temperatures, including material interface work function differences and trapped interface charges. Intrinsic generation and dopant ionisation are shown to be negligible at cryogenic temperatures when using a mode of operation suitable for confinement. We propose studying cryogenic electrostatic confinement wells in transistors using a finite-element model simulation, and decoupling carrier transport generated fields.

Medury, Aditya Sankar, Kansal, Harshit.  2019.  Quantum Confinement Effects and Electrostatics of Planar Nano-Scale Symmetric Double-Gate SOI MOSFETs. 2019 IEEE International Conference on Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits (EDSSC). :1-3.

The effects of quantum confinement on the charge distribution in planar Double-Gate (DG) SOI (Siliconon-Insulator) MOSFETs were examined, for sub-10 nm SOI film thicknesses (tsi $łeq$ 10 nm), by modeling the potential experienced by the charge carriers as that of an an-harmonic oscillator potential, consistent with the inherent structural symmetry of nanoscale symmetric DGSOI MOSFETs. By solving the 1-D Poisson's equation using this potential, the results obtained were validated through comparisons with TCAD simulations. The present model satisfactorily predicted the electron density and channel charge density for a wide range of SOI channel thicknesses and gate voltages.
