  • Abstract
    A critical assessment of the influence of the GW bandgap on the performance of CNT-TFETs reveals smaller on-off ratios and on-current than previously estimated. The revised band gaps are found to now explain a wide range of experimental SB CNTFETs in the literature. In the conventional TFET device geometry with uncovered source/drain regions, a semiconducting CNT of diameter 0.85 nm exhibit superior on-off ratio (>106), on-current (2000μA/μm @ a VDD= 0.3V) and device delay (~150 fs) that meets the requirement for ITRS 2024 technologies.
