We have extended our previous study on the electronic transport in metallic films to include the rough interface using the quantum statistical approach. The one-particle Green's function and the in-plane conductivity are calculated by taking into account both the quantum size effects and scattering processes resulting from bulk impurities, rough surfaces, and a rough interface. Our result shows that the conductivity is a sensitive function of interface roughness and decreases rapidly as the roughness increases. It is found that in the thin-film limit and in the lowest-order approximation of the surface and interface scatterings, the total conductivity is given by a sum of conductivities of all the subbands and the scattering rates for each subband due to the impurities, surfaces, and interface are additive.

Miniaturization of microelectronic devices has lead to many new issues not seen in larger structures, such as hot carrier effects and interfacial effects. In power MOSFETs, degradation of the transconductance can occur over the lifetime of a device. This decrease in performance is a result of hot carriers in the channel region scattering at a Si/SiO2 interface that has been passivated with hydrogen. Eventually hot carriers liberate the hydrogen, leaving silicon bonds with an entirely different scattering cross section. The current work presents a Monte Carlo simulation of carrier transport in silicon near an interface. Scattering parameters at the interface are parameterized and studied. It was found that electron mobility, which is proportional to transconductance, is a function of the energy loss rate and type of scattering at the interface. Results indicate that dangling bonds and H-Si bonds can be characterized by different scattering mechanisms.
