Abstract :
We are reporting a novel carbon nanotube field effect transistor with a poly-Si bottom gate structure. The device has a gate length of 3μm and achieves a unity gain frequency fT of 2.5GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency fmax of >5GHz. The high frequency performance of the device is attributed to the ballistic transport of electrons inside the nanotube and is expected to improve by reducing the gate length.
