Role of phonon scattering in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors

چکیده
The role of phonon scattering in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors sCNTFETsd is explored by solving the Boltzmann transport equation using the Monte Carlo method. The results show that elastic scattering in a short-channel CNTFET has a small effect on the source-drain current due to the long elastic mean-free path smfpd s,1 mmd. If elastic scattering with a short mfp were to exist in a CNTFET, the on current would be severely degraded due to the one-dimensional channel geometry. At high drain bias, optical phonon scattering, which has a much shorter mfp s,10 nmd, is expected to dominate, even in a short-channel CNTFET. We find, however, that inelastic optical scattering has a small effect in CNTFETs under modest gate bias. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. fDOI: 10.1063/1.1923183g
