A fitting model is developed for accounting the asymmetric ambipolarities in the I-V characteristics of graphene field-effect transistors (G-FETs) with doped channels, originating from the thermionic emission and interband tunneling at the junctions between the gated and access regions. Using the model, the gate-voltage-dependent intrinsic mobility as well as other intrinsic and extrinsic device parameters can be extracted. We apply it to a top-gated G-FET with a graphene channel grown on a SiC substrate and with SiN gate dielectric that we reported previously, and we demonstrate that it can excellently fit its asymmetric I-V characteristic.

We report fully quantum simulations of realistic models of boron-doped graphene-based field effect transistors, including atomistic details based on DFT calculations. We show that the self-consistent solution of the three-dimensional (3D) Poisson and Schrodinger equations with a representation in terms of a tight-binding Hamiltonian manages to accurately reproduce the DFT results for an isolated boron-doped graphene nanoribbon. Using a 3D Poisson/Schrodinger solver within the Non-Equilibrium Greens Functions (NEGF) formalism, self-consistent calculations of the gate-screened scattering potentials induced by the boron impurities have been performed, allowing the theoretical exploration of the tunability of transistor characteristics. The boron-doped graphene transistors are found to approach unipolar behavior as the boron concentration is increased, and by tuning the density of chemical dopants the electron-hole transport asymmetry can be finely adjusted. Correspondingly, the onset of a mobility gap in the device is observed. Although the computed asymmetries are not sufficient to warrant proper device operation, our results represent an initial step in the direction of improved transfer characteristics and, in particular, the developed simulation strategy is a powerful new tool for modeling doped graphene nanostructures.
We present an atomistic three-dimensional simulation of graphene nanoribbon field effect transistors (GNR-FETs), based on the self-consistent solution of the 3D Poisson and Schroedinger equation with open boundary conditions within the non-equilibrium Greens Function formalism and a tight-binding hamiltonian. With respect to carbon nanotube FETs, GNR-FETs exhibit comparable performance, reduced sensitivity on the variability of channel chirality, and similar leakage problems due to band-to-band tunneling. Acceptable transistor performance requires effective nanoribbon width of 1-2 nm, that could be obtained with periodic etching patterns or stress patterns.
In this work, we investigate the transport phenomena in compound semiconductor material based buried channel Quantum Well MOSFET with a view to developing a simple and effective model for the device current. Device simulation has been performed in quantum ballistic regime using non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF) formalism. The simulated current voltage characteristics using a novel concept of effective transmission coefficient has been found to define the reported experimental data with high accuracy. The proposed model has also been effective to capture the transport characteristics reported for other compound semiconductor material based field effect transistors. The concept of the proposed effective transmission coefficient and hence the model lends itself to be a simple and powerful device analysis tool which can be extensively used to predict the performance of a wide variety of compound semiconductor devices in the pre fabrication stage. It has also demonstrated consistency with device characteristics for doping concentration and channel length scaling. Thus the model can help the device or process engineers to tune the devices for the best possible performance.
The performance of field effect transistors based on an single graphene ribbon with a constriction and a single back gate are studied with the help of atomistic models. It is shown how this scheme, unlike that of traditional carbon-nanotube-based transistors, reduces the importance of the specifics of the chemical bonding to the metallic electrodes in favor of the carbon-based part of device. The ultimate performance limits are here studied for various constriction and metal-ribbon contact models. In particular we show that, even for poorly contacting metals, properly taylored constrictions can give promising values for both the on-conductance and the subthreshold swing.
In this work, we present a performance analysis of Field Effect Transistors based on recently fabricated 100% hydrogenated graphene (the so-called graphane) and theoretically predicted semi-hydrogenated graphene (i.e. graphone). The approach is based on accurate calculations of the energy bands by means of GW approximation, subsequently fitted with a three-nearest neighbor (3NN) sp3 tight-binding Hamiltonian, and finally used to compute ballistic transport in transistors based on functionalized graphene. Due to the large energy gap, the proposed devices have many of the advantages provided by one-dimensional graphene nanoribbon FETs, such as large Ion and Ion/Ioff ratios, reduced band-to-band tunneling, without the corresponding disadvantages in terms of prohibitive lithography and patterning requirements for circuit integration.
