What is Heat Generation in Silicon Nanometric Semiconductor Devices about?

## Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to deal with the self-heating of semiconductor nano-devices. ## Design/methodology/approach – Transport in silicon semiconductor devices can be described using the Drift-Diffusion model, and Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (MC) of the Boltzmann Transport Equation. ## Findings – A new estimator of the heat generation rate to be used in MC simulations has been found. ## Originality/value – The new estimator for the heat generation rate has better approximation properties due to reduced statistical fluctuations.
