Circuit Compatible Model for Electrostatic Doped Schottky Barrier CNTFET

Abstract

This paper proposes a circuit compatible model for electrostatic doped Schottky barrier carbon nanotube field effect transistor (ED-SBCNTFET). The proposed model is an extension of the Schottky barrier carbon nanotube field effect transistor (SBCNTFET) to ED-SBCNTFET by adding polarity gates, which are used to create electrostatic doping. In ED-SBCNTFET, electrostatic doping is responsible for a fermi level shift of source and drain regions. A mathematical relation has been developed between fermi level shift and polarity gate bias. Both current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance–voltage (C–V) characteristics have been efficiently modeled. The results are compared with the reported semi-classical model and simulations from NanoTCAD ViDES for validation. The proposed model is much faster than numerical models as it denies self consistent equations. Finally, circuit application is demonstrated by simulating inverter using the proposed model in HSPICE.
