Abstract
The ballistic performance of graphene nanoribbon GNR MOSFETs with different width of armchair GNRs is examined using a realspace quantum simulator based on the Nonequilibrium Green’s Function NEGF approach selfconsistently coupled to a 3D Poisson’s equation for electrostatics GNR MOSFETs show promising device performance in terms of low subthreshold swing and small draininducedbarrierlowing due to their excellent electrostatics and gate control single monolayer However the quantum tunneling effects play an import role in the GNR device performance degradation for wider width GNR MOSFETs due to their reduced bandgap At 22 nm width the OFF current performance is completely dominated by tunneling currents making the OFFstate of the device difficult to control
