In this thesis, models are presented for the design and analysis of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs). Such transistors are being seriously considered for applications in the emerging field of nanotechnology. Because of the small size of these devices, and the nearone-dimensional nature of charge transport within them, CNFET modeling demands a rigorous quantum-mechanical basis. ...

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) are a promising candidate to replace conventional metal oxide field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) in the time to come. They have considerable characteristics such as low power consumption and high switching speed. Full adder cell is the main part of the most digital systems as it is building block of subtracter, multiplier, compressor, and other ...

Möglichst genaue Simulationen von Digitalschaltungen, die auf nanoelektronischen Komponenten basieren, benötigen abstrakte Modelle, in denen die wesentlichen Eigenschaften der realen Schaltung repräsentiert sind. Wir beschreiben SystemC-Modelle, die die Eigenschaften von auf Kohlenstoffnanoröhren-Transistoren basierenden Schaltungen abstrahieren und für eine Simulation auf der RT-Ebene zugängli...

&AS DESIGN SIZES have grown larger and semiconductor manufacturing processes have scaled down to extremely small feature sizes, the number of test vectors needed to thoroughly test a chip has exploded. To alleviate this potentially road-blocking issue to further technology scaling, test data compression became an active research topic in the late 1990s, and has now become a standard offering wi...
