Dissipative Transport in Rough Edge Graphene Nanoribbon Tunnel
Transistors
   [PDF]

Youngki Yoon, Sayeef Salahuddin
We have studied quantum transport in Graphene Nanoribbon Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors. Unlike other studies on similar structures, we have included dissipative processes induced by inelastic electron-phonon scattering and edge roughness in the nanoribbon self-consistently within a non-equilibrium transport simulation. Our results show that the dissipative scattering imposes a limit to the minimum OFF current and a minimum subthreshold swing that can be obtained even for long channel lengths where direct source-drain tunneling is inhibited. The edge roughness, in presence of dissipative scattering, somewhat surprisingly, shows a classical behavior where it mostly reduces the maximum ON current achievable in this structure.
