Split gate and asymmetric contact carbon nanotube optical devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Asymmetric contacts or split gate geometries can be used to obtain rectification, electroluminescence (EL) and photocurrent from carbon nanotube field effect transistors. Here, we report devices with both split gates and asymmetric contacts and show that device parameters can be optimised with an appropriate split gate bias, giving the ability to select the rectification direction, modify the reverse bias saturation current and the ideality factor. When operated as a photodiode, the short circuit current and open circuit voltage can be modified by the split gate bias, and the estimated power conversion efficiency was 1×10 -6 . When using split gates and symmetric contacts, strong EL peaking at 0.86 eV was observed with a full width at half maximum varying between 64 and 120 meV, depending on the bias configuration. The power and quantum efficiency of the EL was estimated to be around 1×10 -6 and 1×10 -5 respectively.

The Effect of Optical Phonon Scattering on the On-Current and Gate Delay Time of CNT-FETs
The performance of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors is analyzed, using the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism. The role of the inelastic electron-phonon interaction on the both on-current and gate delay time of these devices is studied. For the calculation of the gate delay time the quasi-static approximation is assumed. The results confirm experimental data of carbon nanotube tr...

The p-i-n carbon nanotube (CNT) devices suffer from low ON/OFF current ratio and small saturation current. In this paper by band bending engineering, we improved the device performance of p-i-n CNT field effect transistors (CNTFET). A triple gate all around structure is proposed to manage the carrier transport along the channel. We called this structure multi-segment gate (MSG) CNTFET. Band to ...
