A review on Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors
Abstract:
Modern computers use silicon transistors as small as 14nm. These transistors have reached their limits. Carbon nanotubes are the speculated successor because of their advantages of electrical conductance, heat dissipation and stability. These characteristics should help reduce current limitations of silicon transistors. Implementation of carbon nanotubes is limited by manufacturing defects and impurities which, even small defects, significantly impact the efficiency of the transistor. Even differences in the interfacial thermal resistance could make current designs and materials obsolete.
