Combining measurements and modeling/simulations analysis to assess carbon nanotube memory cell characteristics.

A simulation package for CNT memory cells is developed, based on computational modeling of both the mesoscopic structure of carbon nanotube films and the electrical conductivity of inter-CNT contacts. The developed package enables the modeling of various electrical measurements and identification of a range of operation conditions delivering desirable device characteristics. This approach opens the path for optimization of the CNT fabric to meet performance requirements.
