Junctionless Nanowire Field-Effect Transistors (JNFETs), where the channel region is uniformly doped without the need for source-channel and drain-channel junctions or lateral doping abruptness, are considered an attractive alternative to conventional CMOS FETs. Previous theoretical and experimental works [1][2] on JNFETs have considered polysilicon gates and silicon-dioxide dielectric. However...

In this paper, the performance of a CNT-JLTFET under different values of torsional strains of 0, 3, and 5 degrees has been investigated. Simulation has been carried out using non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism in the mode-space approach and in the ballistic limit. The simulation results indicate that, under torsional strain, an increase occurs in the energy band-gap, and thus the...

We investigated the source-to-drain capacitance (Csd) due to DIBL effect of silicon nanowire (SNW) MOSFETs. Short-channel SNW devices operating at high drain voltages have the positive value of Csd by DIBL effect. On the other hand, junctionless SNW MOSFETs without source/drain (S/D) PN junctions have negative or zero values by small DIBL effect. By considering the additional source-todrain cap...

In this work, we present atomic scale simulation of junctionless semiconducting single–walled carbon nanotubes field effect transistors (CNT–FETs) and compare their performance to silicon nanowire (SiNW) transistors with similar dimensions. The energy dispersions relations for p–type SiNW and CNT are compared. The response of the transistors to source–drain bias and gate voltage is explored. Co...
