A SPICE-compatible model of Graphene Nano-Ribbon Field-Effect Transistors enabling circuit-level delay and power analysis under process variation

This paper presents the first parameterized, SPICE-compatible compact model of a Graphene Nano-Ribbon Field-Effect Transistor (GNRFET) with doped reservoirs that also supports process variation. The current and charge models closely match numerical TCAD simulations. In addition, process variation in transistor dimension, edge roughness, and doping level in the reservoir are accurately modeled. Our model provides a means to analyze delay and power of graphene-based circuits under process variation, and offers design and fabrication insights for graphene circuits in the future. We show that edge roughness severely degrades the advantages of GNRFET circuits; however, GNRFET is still a good candidate for low-power applications.
