ABSTRACT

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted the most attention due to their extraordinary electrical, mechanical, and optical properties [1–3]. In addition to the efforts of developing new electronic devices, direct bandgap one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures are playing an important role because of the desire to integrate both electronic and optoelectronic technologies on the same material [2]. For example, CNT field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) have generated considerable attention over the past few years because of their semiconductive properties and have reached a high level of performance [4–7]. Meanwhile, several major technology-related questions still need to be addressed. The research on temperature-dependent CNTFET model is not adequate; which is one of the critical and dominant factors on electronics device performance.
