Single- and multi-wall carbon nanotube field-effect transistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We fabricated field-effect transistors based on individual singleand multi-wall carbon nanotubes and analyzed their performance. Transport through the nanotubes is dominated by holes and, at room temperature, it appears to be diffusive rather than ballistic. By varying the gate voltage, we successfully modulated the conductance of a single-wall device by more than 5 orders of magnitude. Multi-wall nanotubes show typically no gate effect, but structural deformations—in our case a collapsed tube—can make them operate as field-effect transistors. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~98!00143-0#

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 کاملThe performance of in situ grown Schottky-barrier single wall carbon nanotube field-effect transistors.
Electrical transport measurements were used to study device behavior that results from the interplay of defects and inadvertent contact variance that develops in as-grown semiconducting single wall carbon nanotube devices with nominally identical Au contacts. The transport measurements reveal that as-grown nanotubes contain defects that limit the performance of field-effect transistors with ohm...

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) are a promising candidate to replace conventional metal oxide field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) in the time to come. They have considerable characteristics such as low power consumption and high switching speed. Full adder cell is the main part of the most digital systems as it is building block of subtracter, multiplier, compressor, and other ...

Due to emergence of serious obstacles by scaling of the transistors dimensions, it has been obviously proved that silicon technology should be replaced by a new one having a high ability to overcome the barriers of scaling to nanometer regime. Among various candidates, carbon nanotube (CNT) field effect transistors are introduced as the most promising devices for substituting the silicon-based ...
