Surrounding Gate CNTFET

  • For CNTFET, Gate capacitance significantly increases with the use of high κ.
  • For CNTFET, Gate capacitance increases to a small amount with oxide thickness.
  • For SBCNTFET, Current and gm are significantly increases for high κ dielectric. For low κ (=3.9) dielectric SiO2, SS is 125 mV/dec, where for HfO2 (κ=16) and ZrO2 (κ=25) SS is much lower.
  • For SBCNTFET, slightly higher ON current and transconductance is found for thinner gate dielectric.
  • Drain current exhibits insignificant change with temperature.
  • Transconductance profile also shows negligible change for above 0.2V gate bias and decreases
  • with temperature for sub-0V condition. On the other hand, SS is significantly decreased for lower temperature.
  • Equally doped S/D and channel with no potential gradient shows greater On/off ratio and lower SS. On current increases slightly and Off current decreases remarkably for long gate. S/D length has no effect in On current, but Off current is lower for short S/D. Though On current increases with CNT diameter, Off current increases more drastically to reduce On/off ratio and degrade SS.

(13, 0) zigzag CNT channel with 10-20nm length is found optimum to be used in channel.
