TL;DRAbstract

In the previous chapters we considered devices featuring a silicon channel and a (001) transport plane. These assumptions simplify calculation of the electron subband structure with the EMA approach, since one of the principal axes of the constant energy ellipsoids of the Δ valleys is aligned to the quantization direction. Furthermore, we have considered the [100] transport direction, which is again aligned to one of the principal axes of the constant energy ellipses in the transport plane.
