In this paper, a novel structure for a dual-gated graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistor (GNRFET) is offered, which combines the advantages of high and low dielectric constants. In the proposed Two Different Insulators GNRFET (TDI-GNRFET), the gate dielectric at the drain side is a material with low dielectric constant to form smaller capacitances, while in the source side, there is a material with high dielectric constant to improve On-current and reduce the leakage current. Simulations are performed based on self-consistent solutions of the Poisson equation coupled with Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) formalism in the ballistic regime. We assume a tight-binding Hamiltonian in... 

In this work, a new structure of single layer armchair graphene nanoribbon field effect transistor with the Stone–Wales (SW) defect (SWGNRFET) is studied. The simulations are solved with Poisson–Schrödinger equation self-consistently by using Non-Equilibrium Green Function (NEGF) and in the real space approach. The energy band structure is obtained by approximation tight-binding method. The results show that displacement of a defect in the width of the channel of the new structure is led to 50% increase in ION/IOFF ratio only by rotating of a C–C (Carbon–Carbon) bond with similar behavior. But, a remarkable increase of 300% in ION/IOFF ratio is obtained by a “dual center” defect. The results... 

In this paper, some important circuit parameters of a monolayer armchair graphene nanoribbon (GNR) field effect transistor (GNRFET) in different structures are studied. Also, these structures are Ideal with no defect, 1SVGNRFET with one single vacancy defect, and 3SVsGNRFET with three SV defects. Moreover, the circuit parameters are extracted based on Semi Classical Top of Barrier Modeling (SCTOBM) method. The I-V characteristics simulations of Ideal GNRFET, 1SVGNRFET and 3SVsGNRFET are used for comparing with SCTOBM method. These simulations are solved with Poisson-Schrodinger equation self-consistently by using Non- Equilibrium Green Function (NEGF) and in the real space approach. The... 

The performance analysis of junctionless (JL) gate-all-around (GAA) metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is investigated using the Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) formalism. The main problem of JL transistors is found to be the OFF-state current. In the present work, the OFF-state current of such devices is decreased by choosing channel materials with a large band gap and heavy effective mass. Our simulation results show that the OFF-state current of JL transistors with p-type GaAs is less than that of n-type GaAs. Plus, the heterostructure (HES) channel is proposed in this study for improving the device characteristics of JL-FETs as compared to homostructure... 

In this paper the electrical characteristics of a novel nanoscale double-gate MOSFET (DG-MOSFET) have been investigate by a full Quantum Mechanical simulation framework. This framework consists of Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) solved self-consistently with Poisson's Equation. Quantum transport equations are solved in two-dimension (2-D) by recursive NEGF method in active area of the device to obtain the charge density and Poisson's equation is solved in entire domain of simulation to get potential profile. Once self-consistently achieved all parameters of interest (e.g. potential profile, charge density, DIBL, etc) can be measured. In this novel DG-MOSFET structure, a front gate...
