Transport measurements on a bundle of single-walled carbon nanotubes have been made below 4.2 K as a function of side gate and source-drain bias voltage. The transport of an individual nanotube is described by the Coulomb blockade effect. The zero-dimensional quantum states of the nanotube become cl

โฆ Synopsis
A deeper understanding of quantum effects in nano-electronic devices helps to improve the functionality and to develop new device types. The performance of carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistor is studied using the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism. The effects of elastic and inelastic scattering and the impact of parameters, such as electron-phonon coupling strength and phonon energy, on the device performance are analyzed.

For the first time, we present a scaling study of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) using a two-dimensional model. We investigate the scaling issues in device performance focusing on transconductance characteristics, output characteristics, average velocity, I on /I off ratio, subth
