What Is Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor A carbon nanotube field-effect transistor, also known as a CNTFET, is a kind of field-effect transistor that makes use of a single carbon nanotube or an array of carbon nanotubes as the channel material in place of bulk silicon, as is done in the conventional MOSFET construction.

This book introduces readers to the emerging carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNTFET) technology, and examines the problem of designing efficient arithmetic circuits in CNTFET technology. Observing that CNTFETs make it possible to achieve two distinct threshold voltages merely by altering the diameter of the carbon nanotube used, the book begins by discussing the design of basic ternary logic elements. It then examines efficient CNTFET-based design of single and multiple ternary digit adders by judicious choice of unary operators in ternary logic, as well as the design of a ternary multiplier in CNTFET technology, and presents detailed simulation results in HSPICE. Lastly, the book outlines a procedure for automating the synthesis process and provides sample code in Python.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nanometer-diameter cylinders formed from rolled-up graphene sheets which have found widespread interests due to their many excellent electrical properties. In particular, most of them are direct bandgap semiconductors from which carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs) can be made. The small feature size and high electron mobility of the CNT makes it attractive and a good candidate to replace modern MOSFETs. So far, most fabricated CNTFETs conduct currents only on the order of microamps under low voltage bias which cannot be used to drive large output loads. In this work, we attempt to explore the ultimate performance benefits from utilizing multiple CNTs for CNTFETs. Two ways of making multi-tube CNTFETs are demonstrated in this thesis. Devices are fabricated, measured and analyzed. A simple model is used to evaluate the ideal ballistic behavior of CNTFETs. Parasitics that are measured from experiments and extracted from numerical tools are added to the model. As an application, we compare the performance of CNTFETs with MOSFETs, both used as power transistors in a Buck DC-DC converter circuit.
