چکیده
Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) have been studied in recent years as a potential alternative to CMOS devices, because of the capability of ballistic transport. In order to account for the ballistic transport we solved the coupled Poisson and Schrödinger equations for the analysis these devices. Conventionally the coupled Schrödinger-Poisson equation is solved iteratively, by using a damping parameter. If

متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Field-effect Transistors: AC Performance Capabilities
The AC performance capabilities of Schottky-barrier carbon nanotube field-effect transistors are examined via simulations using a self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson solver. It is shown that good high-frequency performance demands use of a small-bandgap nanotube, whereas good digitalswitching performance can be achieved with larger-bandgap tubes. For typical transistor geometries it is shown th...

متن کاملModeling of Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors
In this thesis, models are presented for the design and analysis of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs). Such transistors are being seriously considered for applications in the emerging field of nanotechnology. Because of the small size of these devices, and the nearone-dimensional nature of charge transport within them, CNFET modeling demands a rigorous quantum-mechanical basis. ...
