In this article, we have used quantum and semiclassical models to analyse the electrical characteristics of gate all around silicon nanowire transistor (GAA SNWT). A quantum mechanical transport approach based on non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method with the use of mode space approach in the frame work of effective mass theory has been employed for this analysis. Semiclassical drift diffusion mode space (DDMS) approach has also been used for the simulation of GAA SNWT. We have studied the short-channel effects on the performance of GAA SNWT and evaluated the variation of the threshold voltage, the subthreshold slope (SS), the leakage current and the drain-induced barrier lowering...
