MOSCNT: code for carbon nanotube transistor simulation

Abstract
Ballistic transport in carbon nanotube metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (CNT-MOSFETs) is simulated using the Non-equilibrium Green's function formalism. A cylindrical transistor geometry with wrapped-around gate and doped source/drain regions are assumed. It should be noted that this code does NOT treat Schottky-barrier CNTFETs. Additional information on the device geometry and the simulation procedure is described in [1]. The code can readily simulate band-to-band tunneling in CNT-MOSFETs, as well as p-i-n type device architectures, by appropriately modifying the source/drain doping conditions [2,3].
For the explanation of the simulation procedure, see the article "Towards Multiscale Modeling of Carbon Nanotube Transistors," by Guo, Datta, Lundstrom, and Anantram.
