Simulations of Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors

چکیده
As the scaling of Si MOSFET approaches towards its limiting value, new alternatives are coming up to overcome these limitations. In this paper first we have reviewed carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET) and types of CNTFET. We have then studied the effect of channel length and chirality on the drain current for planer CNTFET. The Id~Vd curves for planer CNTFETs having different channel lengths and diameters are plotted. For the same, Id~Vd curves for different applied gate voltages are also plotted. We have then discussed the effect of diameter on the characteristic curves for a cylindrical CNTFET. Finally a brief comparison between the performance of SiMOSFET and CNTFET is given.

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...
