The XOR gate is one of the basic building blocks in the Full Adder (FA) circuit, whose performance improvements can lead to improved Full Adder. For this purpose, in this paper, a new low voltage XOR cell based on Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET) is proposed. The main design goals for this new circuit are low power dissipation, low leakage current and full voltage swing at a low supply voltage (Vdd = 0.5 V). Several XOR circuits were completely simulated using HSPICE with 32nm CMOS and 32nm CNTFET technologies at a low supply voltage. The proposed XOR circuit is compared with the previously known circuits and its outstanding performance is shown. Simulations show that the new low voltage XOR has lower power dissipation, less leakage current and lower PDP than other XOR circuits, and is resistant to process variations. Based on the results obtained at Vdd=0.5 V ,frequency=250 MHz and Cload=3.5 fF, the proposed XOR shows propagation delay of 149.05 ps, power consumption of 716.72 pW, leakage power of 25.1 pW and PDP of 10.683x10-21 J. The proposed XOR can be used well in low voltage and low power Full Adder circuits.

The simulation results of the proposed OTA are performed under 1V of supply voltage and 1pF of load capacitors in the HSPICE tool. According to the simulation results, the proposed circuit consumes less than 27 µW of power and offers a high gain of 98 dB. The CMRR and PSRR values of the proposed circuit are 121 dB and 152 dB, respectively. The input referred noise is 0.92 nV/√Hz and the slew rate of the proposed circuit is 111 V/µs, which shown the better figure of merit (FOM) in compression with the previous works.

In this paper, a new temperature sensor based on the performance of carbon nanotube transistors in the subthreshold region is designed and simulated which leads to reduction of power consumption. Also, a differential amplifier is used in the output of the sensor. in order to keep the values of gain and common mode level voltage due to temperature changes, a method has been proposed that can compensate for these parameters variation due to temperature variation in the range of -30 ºC to +125 ºC. The proposed temperature sensor with its amplifier can be used as a system on the chip surface for temperature monitoring and control. The proposed temperature sensor in the CNTFET carbon nanotube field effect transistor technology with a supply voltage of 0.5 V in the sub-threshold area is simulated by HSPICE software with a 32nm CNT model. The simulation results show that at proposed circuits can measure the temperature in range of -30 ºC to +125 ºC linearly with a sensitivity of 1 mV/ ºC and consumes only 123 nW at room temperature. Also, the error measured at 125 ºC is about 2.5 mV, which means an error of 1.25 ºC at this temperature.

In this paper, a novel device, namely heterojunction electron-hole bilayer tunnel field effect transistor (HJ-EHBTFET), is proposed which outperforms conventional tunnel field effect transistor (TFET) in terms of electrical performance. The use of lattice matched InAs/Al0.6Ga0.4Sb material combination results in a broken band gap configuration, making it highly suitable for high speed ultra-low applications, as it requires smaller gate bias for the onset of tunneling. The impact of critical design parameters on the device performance is comprehensively investigated. The proposed device utilizes electrical doping instead of physical doping for the creation of tunneling junction, which effectively addresses the problem of low solubility of dopants in heavily doped III-V materials. The top gate and bottom gate workfunction are critical design parameters that effectively modulated the electrically induced charges at the tunneling junction and consequently, affect the tunneling rate. In order to obtain the lowest possible transition voltage for the onset of tunneling, a variation matrix of threshold voltage variation is computed as a function of gate electrode workfunction. Through this process, a step-like behavior from off-state to on-state has been achieved, with a subthreshold swing of 3 mV/dec and on/off current ratio of 5.8×1012, thereby paving the way for the design of low-power high-speed digital computing systems.
