Abstract :
In silicon bulk CMOS technology the variability of the device parameters is a key drawback that may be a limiting factor for further miniaturizing nodes. Novel nanoscale beyond-CMOS devices are being studied such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The goal of this paper is to evaluate the parameter variability in Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (CNFETs) and their potential capability to be a promising alternative to Si-CMOS technology.
