Abstract

Molecular transistors can play a very important role in the design and fabrication of complex logic functions inside chips. In this paper, we present an SPICE model for simulating molecular transistors for the first time. We also illustrate a novel hybrid architecture in which n-type transistors are carbon nanotube and p-type ones use benzene rings. We have achieved a significant improvement in terms of power-delay product, area and average leakage power in comparison with the pure carbon nanotube design.
