Design of CNTFET-Based Electronic Circuits: A Review

In this review, we present some designs of CNTFET-based circuits, already proposed by us, and critically examine them here. For some of these, we compare the performance of proposed circuits both in CNTFET and CMOS technology. For the CNTFET model, we use a compact, semi-empirical model, already proposed by us and briefly recalled, while, for the MOSFET model, we use the BSIM4 one of the ADS library. Moreover in some design examples, we compare our results with those obtained using the Stanford model. All simulations are carried out using the software advanced design system (ADS), which is compatible with the Verilog-A programming language.
