Monte Carlo study of coaxially gated CNTFETs: capacitive effects and dynamic performance

Carbon Nanotube (CNT) appears as a promising candidate to shrink field-effect transistors (FET) to the nanometer scale. Extensive experimental works have been performed recently to develop the appropriate technology and to explore DC characteristics of carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET). In this work, we present results of Monte Carlo simulation of a coaxially gated CNTFET including electron-phonon scattering. Our purpose is to present the intrinsic transport properties of such material through the evaluation of electron mean-free-path. To highlight the potential of high performance level of CNTFET, we then perform a study of DC characteristics and of the impact of capacitive effects. Finally, we compare the performance of CNTFET with that of Si nanowire MOSFET.Comment: 15 pages, 14 figures, final version to be published in C. R. Acad. Sci. Pari

Actions pédagogiques en nanosciences

Nous présentons ici le projet Nano-Ecole Ile-de-France de sensibilisation aux nanosciences et nanotechnologies à destination des écoles, des lycées et du grand public. Nous exposons le format et le détail du contenu des interventions réalisées au sein d’établissements scolaires. Enfin nous présentons la mise en place de formations proposées aux enseignants du secondaire ainsi que les actions à destination des élèves de primaire et du grand public
