Download or read book Carbon Nanotube Synthesis Device Fabrication and Circuit Design for Digital Logic Applications written by Albert Lin and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2010 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNFET) technology has received a lot of attention in the past few years as a promising extension to silicon-CMOS for future digital logic integrated circuits. While recent research has advanced CNFET technology past many important milestones, robust and scalable solutions must be developed to realize the full potential of CNFETs. Thus, this thesis aims to develop a suite of techniques, spanning from material synthesis to circuit solutions, compatible with very-large-scale integration (VLSI). Specifically, to enable the real-world engineering of carbon nanotube integrated circuits, this thesis presents (1) wafer-scale aligned CNT growth, (2) wafer-scale CNT Transfer, (3) wafer-scale device and circuit fabrication techniques, and (4) ACCNT, a VLSI-compatible circuit design solution to surmounting the problem of metallic CNTs. These techniques culminated in the successful demonstration of CNT transistors, inverters, and NAND logic gates on a wafer scale. Furthermore, this thesis sheds light on important design considerations for the demonstration of a simple CNT "computer" and suggests a few critical directions for future work in the field of carbon nanotube technology. In contributing the above, this thesis hopes to propel carbon nanotube technology forward towards the vision of robust, large-scale integrated circuits using high-density carbon nanotubes.

Download or read book Carbon Nanotube Electronics written by Arash Hazeghi and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, carbon-based electronics have surfaced as potential candidates for substituting silicon-based logic as scaling continues into the new decade and beyond 20nm technology node. In particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoribbons have received significant attention from the academia as well the industry. Ideal electronic and structural properties of these materials make them suitable for electronic applications. In this work we discuss the basics of CNT growth and device fabrication, explore performance and contact resistance for CNT Field Effect Transistors (CNFETs) based on horizontally-aligned grown CNTs. We provide a physics-based compact model for simulation of CNFETs in a) quantum ballistic and b) semiclassical diffusive regimes. Measuring channel carrier density is essential for extracting key device parameters such as mobility while it can also provide a detailed picture of the underlying quantum mechanics. Since CNTs and nanostructures in general are limited by quantum capacitance, will also provide an Integrated Capacitance Bridge (ICB) for wide temperature-range, high resolution measurements of quantum capacitance in nanostructures with an excitation amplitude smaller than kBT/q.
