Abstract

We present quantum simulations of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNT-FETs) based on top-gated architectures and compare to electrical characterization on devices with 15 nm channel lengths. A non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) quantum transport method coupled with a k→ ·p→ description of the electronic structure is demonstrated to achieve excellent agreement with the reported experimental data. Factors influencing the electrostatic control of the channel are investigated and reveal that detailed modeling of the electrostatics and the electronic band structure of the CNT is required to achieve quantitative agreement with experiment.
