Modeling Quantum Transport in Nanoscale Transistors

30 Oct 2006 | Publications | Contributor(s): Ramesh Venugopal

As critical transistor dimensions scale below the 100 nm (nanoscale) regime, quan- tum mechanical effects begin to manifest themselves and affect important device performance metrics. Therefore, simulation tools which can be applied to design nanoscale transistors in the future, require new …

Carbon Nanotube Electronics: Modeling, Physics, and Applications

30 Oct 2006 | Publications | Contributor(s): Jing Guo

In recent years, significant progress in understanding the physics of carbon nanotube electronic devices and in identifying potential applications has occurred. In a nanotube, low bias transport can be nearly ballistic across distances of several hundred nanometers. Deposition of high-κ …
