COXIDE CSEMI CNTs: Best Case Scenario Current Capacitance Physics: Low DOS makes band pinning difficult. Intuitively: Not enough electrons to screen the gate E-field. Circuits: COXIDE >~ CSEMI CNT array FET Iper tube ~ VDD/ 6.5Kohms ~150uA (@VDD = 1V) Take d = S = 1nm; Iper gate width ~ 500 X 150uA/um ~ 75mA/um (+non-idealities) Isilicon ~ 1mA/um Cper tube <~ 1-5 aF (@Length=50nm) Cper gate width ~ 500 X 2aF/um ~ 1fF/um Csilicon ~ 1fF/um Cinterconnect ~ 0.3fF/um (does not scale) C (per unit micron of width) = 1X I (per unit micron of width) = 50X TDELAY (for same transistor width) = 0.02X

1-D Device Basics • What we want! • High Ion speed • Low Ioff less leakage • Steep switching small Subthreshold swing, SS • High mobility, m • How can we archive this? • Ion: Ohmic contacts + big tube • Ioff: high quality tox, small tube • SS: good gate coupling = small tox =4pF/cm
Intrinsic Gate Delay CV/I for PMOS R. Chau, IEEE Nanotechnology, 2005
Conclusion • CNT have potential • Devices can keep up with state-of-the-art Si • Still 3 major challenges to overcome (Integration) ~~~ Thank you for you attention ~~~
CNT-FET Benchmarking • Intrinsic Speed: CV/I vs. Lg • SS vs. Lg • Speed vs. Ion/Ioff • Metrology • I=Ion (@ Vg = Vt + 2/3 VDS) • I=Ion (@ Vg = Vt – 1/3 VDS) • V=Vcc=Vg=|VDS| • Device width = 2R • Vt from standard peak conductance R. Chau, IEEE Nanotechnology, 2005
