Abstract :
We present a compact, semiempirical model of carbon nanotube field effect transistor easily implementable in simulation SPICE software to design analog and digital circuits. The model is based on analytical approximations and parameters extracted from quantum mechanical simulations, having compared the results with those of the numerical model online available and of experimental data.
