ABSTRACT

Nano-complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology is among the most promising of nanotechnologies. Silicon-based CMOS technology can be scaled down into the nanometer regime. Nano-CMOS models are investigated to analyze the CMOS behavior at the nanoscale. Nano-CMOS is an online tool developed by the nanoscale integration and modeling group at Arizona State University. It is designed to provide the users an easy method to customize the model file to whatever technology specifications they desire. The chapter provides an overview of the tool used including its features and limitations. It explains about the model cards generated along with the I–V curves extracted using the tool at both 27°C and 125°C for various transistor sizes used in the simulations. Model cards are extracted for different temperatures. This is easily accomplished using the nano-CMOS tool. The chapter summarizes the methodology used for research and draws some conclusions and future research.
