▎ 摘  要

In this paper, new sensors based on a double-gate (DG) graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistor (GNRFET), for high-performance DNA and gas detection, are proposed through a simulation-based study. The proposed sensors are simulated by solving the Schrodinger equation using the mode space non-equilibrium Green's function formalism coupled self-consistently with a 2D Poisson equation under the ballistic limits. The dielectric and work function modulation techniques are used for the electrical detection of DNA and gas molecules, respectively. The behaviors of both the sensors have been investigated, and the impacts of variation in geometrical and electrical parameters on the sensitivity of sensors have also been studied. In comparison to other FET-based sensors, the proposed sensors provide not only higher sensitivity but also better electrical and scaling performances. The obtained results make the proposed DG-GNRFET-based sensors as promising candidates for ultra-sensitive, small-size, low-power and reliable CMOS-based DNA, and gas sensors.
