In this paper we propose a procedure to study the dependence of a CNTFET amplifier performance on CNT parameters that fully identify the geometrical properties of a regular CNT. In particular these parameters are the length and structural indices (n,m) of CNT. We analyse the effects on a linear common source amplifier using a N type CNTFET with a resistive gate polarization. We polarize at a fixed drain voltage and current, gradually changing the CNT parameters. As regards the indices, we present the analysis for a zig-zag CNT. However the proposed procedure can be applied to other types of CNT. We show the effect on gain, on the 3 dB cut off frequency, F, on the input and output resistances, obtaining that F has a clear inverse dependence on the length and that also decreases at higher structural indices for zig-zag CNT.

Abstract
In this paper we propose a procedure to study the dependence of a CNTFET amplifier performance on CNT parameters that fully identify the geometrical properties of a regular CNT. In particular these parameters are the length and structural indices (n,m) of CNT. We analyse the effects on a linear common source amplifier using a N type CNTFET with a resistive gate polarization. We polarize at a fixed drain voltage and current, gradually changing the CNT parameters. As regards the indices, we present the analysis for a zig-zag CNT. However the proposed procedure can be applied to other types of CNT. We show the effect on gain, on the 3 dB cut off frequency, F, on the input and output resistances, obtaining that F has a clear inverse dependence on the length and that also decreases at higher structural indices for zig-zag CNT.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
