  • Abstract
    This paper focuses on the development of a compact noise model for radiofrequency (RF) carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFET). The noise mechanisms in these devices are discussed and the impact of the different noise sources is analyzed. For the RF-CNFET under investigation a minimum noise figure NFmin = 0.104 dB at 60 GHz is predicted. Our model is usable with conventional circuit simulators, which provides a basis for further investigations on CNFET-based RF building blocks.
