The Air Force Research Laboratory is soliciting proposals to outline a study program whose objective is to determine ultimate performance, analytically, of a variety of electronic circuits based on the ultimate performance of a carbon nanotube transistor under Topic 1, subparagraph (1) of Space Electronics Technology Broad Agency Announcement VS-06-05 posted on 22 September 200 6. See the following for detailed information:
Development of Carbon Nanotube Analytical Models for Ultra-low Power, Ultra-high Performance Analog, Digital and Mixed Signal Applications Carbon nanotubes are promising materials for nanoscale integration and future integrated circuits due to their excellent electrical properties and small size.
The research involves modeling of carbon nanotubes for use as interconnect wires in present complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology and nanometer field effect transistors for circuit design at nanoscale integration.
Analytical models will be developed for both carbon nanotube interconnections and carbon nanotube field effect transistors.
Verilog-AMS language will be explored for computer simulations in Cadence/Spectre for designing of ultra-low power digital, analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits including for radio frequency applications from carbon nanotube materials, and integration with CMOS.
Carbon nanotubes have exhibited significant changes in their electronic properties when subjected to molecular adsorbates.
The unique structure and sensitivity to molecular adsorbates have resulted in use of carbon nanotubes for bio- and chemical sensing applications.
The modeling of electronic behavior of carbon nanotubes and field effect transistors can then be used for detecting (bio- and chemical sensing) traces of bio-warfare agents and chemical agents.
The proposed research will be carried out in close interaction with the Electronics Foundations Group, AFRL/RVSE.
ANTICIPATED FUNDING (Topic C2, Advanced Electronic Materials, Devices, and Circuits, (2) Modeling Of Advanced Materials For Space Electronics):
