We present self-consistent solutions of ultra-thin body device structures to understand the influence of quantum-mechanical confinement on the predictions of classical scaling theory. We show that two-dimensional electrostatics considerations play a more dominant role than quantum-mechanical effects in the subthreshold behavior of ultra-thin fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator structures. We also show how modifications to the doping profile can be used to alleviate two-dimensional short-channel effects.
