Circuit-Level Simulation of a CNTFET With Unevenly Positioned CNTs by Linear …

Abstract—The carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNTFET) has been advocated as one of the possible alternatives to replace the MOSFET. Some of the likely defect types that may occur in its manufacturing process are the presence of undeposited CNTs and the change in CNT diameter. Existing simulation models are inadequate to assess the effect of undeposited CNTs, due to the limitation in …
