Abstract :
The advances of using carbon-nanotube (CNT) triode structure field-emission (FE) devices for display applications require an accurate and efficient SPICE-compatible device model for evaluating their electrical behaviors in the early circuit and system design stage. This letter presents a simple and efficient macromodeling approach that can accurately model the CNT triode FE devices independent of the device process and physical structures for circuit simulations.
