In this paper, first, the impact of different gate arrangements on the short-channel effects of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors with doped source and drain with the self-consistent solution of the three-dimensional Poisson equation and the Schr¨odinger equation with open boundary conditions, within the non-equilibrium Green function, is investigated. The results indicate that the double-gate structure possesses a quasi-ideal subthreshold oscillation and an acceptable decrease in the drain induced barrier even for a relatively thick gate oxide (5 nm). Afterward, the electrical characteristics of the double-gate carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (DG-CNTFET) are investigated. The results demonstrate that an increase in diameter and density of the nanotubes in the DG-CNTFET increases the on-state current. Also, as the drain voltage increases, the off-state current of the DG-CNTFET decreases. In addition, regarding the negative gate voltages, for a high drain voltage, increasing in the drain current due to band-to-band tunnelling requires a larger negative gate voltage, and for a low drain voltage, resonant states appear

ABSTRACTCarbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) were fabricated with metal material (gold) and semiconductor material (bismuth telluride) as the source and drain materials. Highly-purified HiPCO-grown single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from Carbon Nanotechnologies, Inc. (CNI) were used for the fabrication of CNTFETs. The single-walled carbon nanotubes were ultrasonically dispersed in toluene and dimethylformamide (DMF) with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), as co-solvent. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) method was used to deposit, align, and assemble carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to bridge the gap between the source and drain of CNTFETs to form the channel. The structure of CNTFET is similar to a conventional field-effect transistor with substrate acting as a back-side gate. Electron-beam evaporation was used to deposit gold and bismuth telluride thin films. Microfabrication techniques such as photolithography, e-beam lithography, and lift-off process were used to define and fabricate the source, drain, and gate of CNTFETs. The gap between the source and drain varied from 800 nm to 3 µm. The drain-source current (IDS) of the fabricated CNTFETs versus the drain-source voltage (VDS) and the gate voltage (VG) was characterized. It was found that in the case of gold (Au) electrodes, the IV curves of CNTFETs clearly show behavior of the CNT (metallic or semiconducting) aligned across the source and drain of CNTFETs, while in the case of bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) electrodes, the I-V curves are less dependent on the type of CNTs (metallic or semiconducting). The developed carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) can be a good candidate for the application of nanoelectronics and integrated circuits with a high mobility and fast switching.

AbstractThis work proposes the use of the composite carbon felt/carbon nanotube/Polyaniline as an alternative for applications as a pH sensor device. The carbon felt/carbon nanotube is an electronic conductivity material that was obtained from polymer felt (poliacrilonitrile felt) using oxidation and carbonization processes. The cup-stacked and bamboo-like tubes were grown on the fibers of carbon felt by chemical vapor decomposition method. The sensor was obtained by incorporating polyaniline (Pani) on the nanotubes present on the fibers of carbon felt/carbon nanotubes composite. The measuring process uses an EGFET (Extended Gate Field Effect Transistors) configuration, which is a derivation of the ISFET (Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor) - that is basically a chemical semiconductor sensor. The drain-current versus source-drain voltage is presented for varying pH concentrations from 2 up to 12.

This paper presents a review on our recent work on carbon nanotube field effect transistors, including the development of ohmic contacts, high-κ gate dielectric integration, chemical functionalization for conformal dielectric deposition and pushing the performance limit of nanotube FETs by channel length scaling. Due to the importance of high current operations of electronic devices, we also review the high field electrical transport properties of nanotubes on substrates and in freely suspended forms. Owing to their unique properties originating from their crystalline 1D structure and the strong covalent carbon–carbon bonding configuration, carbon nanotubes are highly promising as building blocks for future electronics. They are found to perform favorably in terms of ON-state current density as compared to the existing silicon technology, owing to their superb electron transport properties and compatibility with high-κ gate dielectrics. Future directions and challenges for carbon nanotube-based electronics are also discussed.
