FPGA Design with Double-Gate Carbon Nanotube Transistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Double-gate carbon nanotube field effect transistors (DGCNTFETs) are novel devices showing an interesting property allowing to control the por n-type behavior during the device operation. This opens up the opportunity for novel design paradigms. Based on a compact physical model of these devices, we demonstrate the benefit of designing field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) using fine-grain DG-CNTFET logic blocs rather than traditional look-up tables and coarse-grain DG-CNTFET logic blocs. In particular, we show a reduction by 13% to 48% on average in terms of delay of FPGA benchmarks.

Band bending engineering in p-i-n gate all around Carbon nanotube field effect transistors by multi-segment gate
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 ...

متن کاملA fine-grained reconfigurable logic array based on double gate transistors
A fine-grained reconfigurable architecture based on double gate technology is presented. The logic function operating on the first gate of a double gate (DG) transistor is reconfigured by altering the bias on its second gate. A compact reconfigurable cell is proposed that merges two stacked 3-state resonant tunneling devices and non-silicon transistors and “hides” the cost of reconfiguration by...

Vertically grown carbon nanotubes have the potential for tera-level integration. However, the well-known ambipolar behavior limits the performance of carbon nanotube field effect transistors. In this work we demonstrate that a double gate structure effectively suppresses the ambipolar behavior. Using the double gate design excellent device characteristics along with the potential for high scale...
