ConclusionsConclusions
• Multi-channel CNFETs needed for high current and for impedance matching.
• HF performance appears to be ultimately limited by vb,max.
• CNs have a vb,max advantage over Si of ~ 5 times.
• This could lead to a gm advantage (in C-CNFETs).
• Translating this advantage into superior fT and fmax will necessitate keeping
CGG low, which may be a technological issue.
• Seek applications not suited to Si.
