摘要：In this paper we present a new combination of Carbon NanoTube Field Effect Transistors (CNTFETs) and bipolar transistors which named Bi CNTFET and used to design a fast and low power inverter. New inverter proposes and compare to existing Bipolar-CMOS (BiCMOS) design. Propose Bi CNTFET inverter has advantages such as large load drive capabilities, low static power dissipation, fast switching and high input impedance. Extensive simulation using HSPICE to investigate the power consumption and delay of propose inverter. Simulation result shows that the propose inverter using carbon nanotube has better performance in terms of delay and power consumption, in compared to BiCMOS counterpart. Furthermore the new design reduces the chip area because of using carbon nanotubes.
