摘要
Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (CNFETs) are excellent candidates for building highly energy-efficient future electronic systems. Unfortunately, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are highly subject to inherent imperfections that pose major obstacles to robust CNFET digital VLSI: It is nearly impossible to guarantee perfect alignment and positioning of all CNTs; CNTs can be metallic or semiconducting depending on chirality.
A combination of design and processing techniques, presented in this talk, overcomes these challenges by creating CNFET digital VLSI circuits that are immune to these substantial inherent imperfections. This imperfection-immune design paradigm enables the first experimental demonstrations of: Digital sub-systems built using CNFETs and Monolithic three-dimensional CNFET ICs.
