文摘

We investigate the feasibility of using CdTe nanotetrapods as circuit elements using models and simulation at multiple scales. Technology computer-aided design tools are used to simulate the electrical behavior for both metal−semiconductor field-effect transistors and junction field-effect transistors. Our results show that by varying the doping concentrations and material composition, CdTe nanotetrapods have the potential to be useful circuit elements. Monte Carlo simulations provide insight into how control over interparticle and particle−substrate interactions can lead to the directed assembly of ordered arrays of electrically gated nanotetrapods.
