Abstract :
This paper presents a novel method of multiple-valued logic design using carbon nanotube FETs (CNFETs). The geometry dependant threshold voltage of these transistors has been used to design a ternary logic family. We have developed a SPICE compatible model of ballistic CNFETs. HSPICE has been used in all simulations and transient as well as dc characteristics have been studied.
