Carbon nanotube electronics
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In recent years, carbon-based electronics have surfaced as potential candidates for substituting silicon-based logic as scaling continues into the new decade and beyond 20nm technology node. In particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoribbons have received significant attention from the academia as well the industry. Ideal electronic and structural properties of these materials make them suitable for electronic applications. In this work we discuss the basics of CNT growth and device fabrication, explore performance and contact resistance for CNT Field Effect Transistors (CNFETs) based on horizontally-aligned grown CNTs. We provide a physics-based compact model for simulation of CNFETs in a) quantum ballistic and b) semiclassical diffusive regimes. Measuring channel carrier density is essential for extracting key device parameters such as mobility while it can also provide a detailed picture of the underlying quantum mechanics. Since CNTs and nanostructures in general are limited by quantum capacitance, will also provide an Integrated Capacitance Bridge (ICB) for wide temperature-range, high resolution measurements of quantum capacitance in nanostructures with an excitation amplitude smaller than kBT/q.
