Abstract

Graphene, due to its wealth of remarkable electronic properties, emerged as a potent post-Si forerunner for nanoelectronics. To enable the exploration and evaluation of potential graphene-based circuit designs, we propose a fast and accurate Verilog-A physics-based model of a 5-terminal trapezoidal Quantum Point Contact (QPC) Graphene Nano-Ribbon (GNR) structure with parametrizable geometry. The proposed model computes the GNR conductance based on the Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF)-Landauer formalism, via a Simulink model called from within the Verilog-A model. Furthermore, model accuracy and versatility are demonstrated by means of Simulink assisted Cadence Spectre simulation of a simple test case GNR-based circuit and a GNR-based 2-input XOR gate.
