Critical Analysis of CNTFET-Based Electronic Circuits Design

In this review we present many design of CNTFET-based circuits, already proposed by us and here critically examined. For some of these, we compare the performance of proposed circuits both in CNTFET and CMOS technology. For 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 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.
