[摘要]:We investigate the hysteresis behavior in carbon nanotube (CNT) field effect transistors (CNFETs) upon pulsed gate voltages (V-g) above ambient temperature within 300-390 K. Assuming charge trapping near the CNT channel to be the major mechanism behind gate hysteresis, we perform charge trapping experiments based on Vg pulses and find that CNFET charge trapping is increasing with temperature. We assess the impact of thermally enhanced charge trapping on the hysteresis reduction performance of two different pulsed Vg sweeps. One of the two sweeps, consisting of alternating polarity pulses, is shown to essentially eliminate gate hysteresis in the studied temperature range. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.
