Noise performance in current mirror circuit based on CNTFET and MOSFET

In this paper we present a comparative analysis of noise performance of Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (CNTFETs) and MOSFET, through the design of a basic current mirror. For reference current of 1 µA and 10 µA the output static and dynamic characteristics are better in the case of CNTFET, but for all cases the output noise current is always higher for the CNTFET than for the MOS. The software used is Advanced Design System (ADS) which is compatible with the Verilog A programming language.
