Simulation of reconfigurable fet circuits using sentaurus tcad tool

Abstract

This chapter introduces the basic tool flow of the Sentaurus technology computer-aided design (TCAD) tool and explores the device characteristic simulations and circuit-level simulations using the single-gate reconfigurable field-effect transistor (SG-RFET) device. Various analog and digital circuits are demonstrated using the SG-RFET device, which provides insight for the new researchers to propose new device architectures to mitigate the existing challenges. The device current-voltage characteristics are simulated for a different gate and channel length. A unity gain analog buffer amplifier with resistive load is implemented using the SG-RFET device, which shows the possibilities of analyzing the circuit behavior in Sentaurus TCAD using new device architectures and materials.
