Abstract
In this paper, a simple carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET)-based inverter has been simulated and the impacts of changing various design and process parameters on its characteristics and performance have been analysed using HSPICE. The 32 nm CNTFET model of Stanford University has been used here for the simulation of the inverter. The simulation results and the voltage transfer characteristics (VTC) curve of the inverter have been extracted for (i) different channel lengths, (ii) top gate di-electric material thickness (tox), (iii) pitch value (iv) the number of tubes in CNTFET channel region and (v) chirality of the CNT. It has been observed that the VTC curve changes significantly with different values of these parameters. Some important output parameters like maximum dc current, power, rise time, fall time, average propagation delay, etc. have been measured in each case. Changes in maximum power consumption value due to the change in different parameter values are observed through plotted graphs. Output dc current vs. input voltage graphs have been plotted for different chirality of the tubes, the number of the tubes, and pitch values between n-type CNTFET and p-type CNTFET of the inverter.
