摘要

Since the first demonstration of electroluminescence (EL) from a CNTFET about three year ago, significant progress has been achieved in CNT optoelectronics. We have developed semiclassical and quantum transport simulators for CNT optoelectronic devices. A self-consistent simulation, which couples a quantum treatment of the metal-CNT contacts to a semiclassical treatment of the channel, is performed to understand carrier transport and light emission in a CNT infrared emitter. The results show that when the channel is long, light emission significantly affects carrier transport, and reduces the source-drain current by a factor of 2 in ambipolar transport regime. The experimentally observed light-spot movement along the channel can be mostly understood and explained by a simple, semiclassical picture. The photoconductivity of carbon nanotube (CNT) Schottky barrier transistors is studied by solving the non-equilibrium Green's function transport equation. The model provides a detailed and coherent picture of electron-photon coupling and quantum transport effects. The photocurrent shows peaks at photon energies near the subband gaps, which can be engineered by controlling the CNT diameter. Electron-phonon coupling (ⅰ) slightly broadens the peaks, (ⅱ) leads to phonon-assisted photocurrent at certain energy ranges, and (ⅲ) changes the energy-resolved photocurrent. We also show that the metal/CNT barrier height has a much smaller effect on the photocurrent than on the dark current. We also show the important role of sub-bandgap impact ionization and excitation in CNT devices.
