| Abstract: | We show that the negative differential resistance in the I/sub d/-V/sub ds/ characteristics observed in hydrodynamic transport simulations of partially depleted silicon-on-insulator MOSFETs disappears if the nonlocality of tunneling effects are properly accounted for in the recombination-generation process. |
