Abstract
In this article, a physics-based analytical current model for armchair graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistors (A-GNRFETs) is developed, which is valid from ballistic to quasi-ballistic transport regimes. The roles of line-edge roughness (LER) for different roughness parameters and Fermi level of GNRs are numerically investigated. Furthermore, the effect of LER-related tunneling current has a strong impact on the drain–source current for the OFF state, and it is considered in this model. The good agreement between our proposed current model and the nonequilibrium Green function (NEGF) simulations proves its validity. The results indicate that depending on the geometrical and roughness parameters, the transport properties can be ballistic or quasi-ballistic.
