Compact Modeling of Emerging Technologies with VHDL-AMS

Abstract

This paper deals with the compact modeling of several emerging technologies: first, the double-gate MOSFET (DG MOSFET), and second, the carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNTFET). For CNTFETs, we propose two compact models, the first one with a classical behavior (like MOSFET), and the second one with an ambipolar behavior (Schottky-barrier CNTFET). All the models have been compared with numerical simulations and then implemented in VHDL-AMS.
