Abstract
The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used to determine transmission in three-dimensional nanoscale transistors. Transmission through the channel of a transistor is found by initializing a waveform that represents a particle at the input to a channel and using the FDTD methodology to simulate the interaction of the particle through the channel. This can then used to calculate current of the channel for applications in determining performance capabilities in nanoscale transistors.
