Abstract :
The role of temperature in semiconductors has been established as a contributing factor in affecting the energy band gap. However, the temperature in Carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs) is said to be negligible and can be ignored as stated in [1]. An investigation on how the temperature would affect these devices is investigated by comparing different equations with a set of various parameters.
