Abstract :
In this paper, utilization of energy recovery techniques in carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNT-FET) circuits is discussed. Four different energy recovery techniques for complementary on-chip CNT-FET XNOR/XOR circuits are extensively studied and simulated using Cadence® Spectre simulator. The simulation results show that the power density of CNT-FET circuits is much higher than the maximum power density limit set by ITRS 2003. Among the four energy recovery circuits, new clocked adiabatic logic (CAL) type CNT-FET circuits exhibit the best performance.
