Aim: The current voltage characteristics of Silicon based BIOFET and Germanium based BIOFET are simulated by varying their oxide thickness ranging from 1nm to 100nm. Materials and Methods: The electrical conductance of Silicon based BIOFET (n=320) was compared with Germanium based BIOFET (n=320) by varying oxide thickness ranging from 1nm to 100nm in the NanoHub© tool simulation environment. Results: Germanium based BIOFET has significantly higher conductance than Silicon based BIOFET. The optimal gate oxide thickness for maximum conductivity was 1nm for Silicon based BIOFET and 35nm for Germanium based BIOFET. Conclusion: Within the limits of the study, Germanium based BIOFET with oxide thickness of 35nm offers the best conductivity.

Aim: The current and voltage characteristics of CNTFET and MOSFET are simulated by varying their gate oxide thickness ranging from 3.5nm to 11.5nm. Materials and Methods: The electrical conductance of CNTFET (n = 320) was compared with MOSFET (n = 320) by varying gate oxide thickness ranging from 3.5nm to 11.5nm in the NanoHUB© tool simulation environment. Results: CNTFET has significantly higher conductance (12.52 mho) than MOSFET (12.07 mho). The optimal thickness for maximum conductivity was 4nm for CNTFET and 3.5 nm for MOSFET. Conclusion: Within the limits of this study, CNTFET with the gate oxide thickness of 4 nm offers the best conductivity.

We provide a model of coaxial CNTFET, using single wall nanotube. These devices would exhibit wrap-around gates that maximize capacitive coupling between the gate electrode and the nanotube channel. The results of simulations of I-V characteristics for CNTFETs are presented. Here we use non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) to perform simulation for CNTFET. This simulator also includes a graphic user interface (GUI) of Matlab that enables parameter entry, calculation control, display of calculation results. In this work, we review the capabilities of the simulator, summarize the theoretical approach and experimental results. Current-voltage characteristics are a function of the variables such as: diameter of CNT, the length of CNT, the gate oxide thickness, gate voltage of Vg, types of materials of Source-Drain, Gate, and temperature. The obtained I-V characteristics of the CNTFET are also presented by analytical equations.

Molecular Field Effect Transistor (MFET) is a promising alternative candidate of traditional MOSFET in future due to its small size, low power consumption and high speed. In this work, we introduce a model of three-terminal MFET. The structure of the MFET is in shape like traditional MOSFET, but its conductive channel is replaced by a benzene-1,4-dithiolate molecule. We use non-equilibrium Green's function method to compute transport function of charges and ultimately, the current-voltage (1-V) characteristics. The program is written by using graphic user guide (GUI) in Matlab. We have found significant difference of I-V characteristics between MOSFET and MFET. In addition, impacts of types of material, temperature, and bias on I-V characteristics of the MFET have been considered. Using GUI in Matlab, obtained results of simulations are intuitively displayed.
