چکیده
Based on the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism we numerically studied gate-controlled tunneling carbon nanotube field-effect transistors. The effect of doping concentration on the performance of the device has been investigated. We show that an asymmetric doping profile can improve the Ion/Ioff ratio of the device improves.

متن کاملReview on Optimization Methods of Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors
Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) have been considered as a replacement for, or complement to, future semiconductor devices due to high mobility, low defect structure, and intrinsic nanometer scale of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The great superiority in performance for CNTFETs vis-a-vis state-of-the-art silicon devices has attracted an intense research effort to explore their appl...

Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been used as the active channels of field effect transistors (FET). The next development step involves the integration of CNTFETs to form logic gates; the basic units of computers. For this we need to have both pand n-type CNTFETs. However, without special treatment, the obtained CNTFETs are always p-type: the current carriers are holes and the devices...

متن کاملFabrication of carbon nanotube field effect transistors by AC dielectrophoresis method
Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) suspended in isopropyl alcohol have been placed between two electrodes by AC dielectrophoresis method. The number of SWNTs bridging the two electrodes is controlled by SWNT concentration of the suspension and deposition time. Through selectively burning off the metallic SWNTs by current induced oxidation, the back-gate carbon nanotube field effect transistor...
