چکیده
A self-consistent solution of Schrödinger equation based on Green’s function formalism coupled to a two-dimensional Poisson’s equation for treating the electrostatics of the device is used to simulate and model the ballistic performance of an armchair edged GNRFET. Our results take into account interactions of third nearest neighbors, as well as relaxation of carbon–carbon bonds in the edges of nanoribbons. Performance of the I–V characteristics of GNRFETs for different widths and lengths is studied in terms of their subthreshold swing, saturation behavior, leakage current and on-current density. This can help in optimizing the fabricated GNRFET devices in terms of their geometrical dimensions as well as their supply voltage and bias point for optimum attainable performance. The impact of channel region’s coupling to the source/drain leads is also studied in the last Section of

Top-gated epitaxial-graphene nanoribbon (GNR) field-effect transistors on SiC wafers were fabricated and characterized at room temperature. The devices exhibited extremely high current densities ( 10 000 mA/mm) due to the combined advantages of the one-dimensionality of GNRs and the SiC substrate. These advantages included good heat dissipation as well as the high optical phonon energy of the G...

A computationally efficient mode space simulation method for atomistic simulation of a graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistor in the ballistic limits is developed. The proposed simulation scheme, which solves the nonequilibrium Green’s function coupled with a three dimensional Poisson equation, is based on the atomistic Hamiltonian in a decoupled mode space. The mode space approach, which ...
