simulation tool for a nanotechnology

Totally select 3 devices to simulate: explore a simulation tool for a nanotechnology of your choice. • Nanowire FET • Carbon Nanotube FET • Quantum Dots/Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA) • Single-Electron Transistors (SETs) • Memristors • Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) • Spintronic Devices • Resonant Tunneling Devices • Molecular Electronics • Microfluidics First, choose one of the above nanotechnologies to study. Next, find a simulation tool to examine the performance characteristics of the technology. You may find a tool using nanoHUB or you may find a tool from other online resources, e.g. Spice models, Java applets, etc. Deliverables With the simulation tool of your choice, obtain: • An I-V curve (or input-output waveform) characterizing the device’s performance And either obtain: • Determine the current or power when the device is active (e.g. active current or on-current) • Determine the current or power when the device is inactive (e.g. standby current or off-current) Or obtain: • An input-output waveform demonstrating the use of the device in a logic circuit • A schematic of the above logic circuit Report and Submission Type a report summarizing your findings for this work: • First, provide a brief introduction to the nanotechnology you selected to study • Provide an explanation of your use of the simulation tool for this nanotechnology. You must cite any references you use. • Explain the deliverables in your report. Be descriptive in your report and use numerical comparisons when appropriate. • Lastly, provide a conclusion of your findings • You must cite any references used or students consulted
