We present detailed results of the self-consistent analysis of carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistors (FET), previously extended by us to the case of multi-walled/multi-band coherent carrier transport. The contribution to charge transport, due to different walls and sub-bands of a multi-walled CNT, is shown to be generally non-negligible. In order to prove the effectiveness of our simulation tool, we provide interesting examples about current–voltage characteristics of four-walled semi-conducting nanotubes, including details of numerical convergence and contribution of sub-bands to the calculation.

Electronic devices based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) show potential for circuit miniaturization due to their superior electrical characteristics and reduced dimensionality. The CNT field effect transistors (CNFETs) offer breakthrough in miniaturization of various electronic circuits. Investigation of ballistic transport governing the operation of CNFETs is essential for understanding the device's functional behavior. This investigation is focused on a study of current–voltage characteristics of device behavior in hard saturation region. The investigation utilizes a set of current–voltage characteristics obtained on typical devices. This work is an extension of our earlier work describing application of our approach to Si -MOSFET behavior in the saturation region.
