Abstract - Using the two dimensional device simulator Silvaco Atlas, the photovoltaic characteristics of a double junction InGaP/GaAs solar cell [J.P. Dutta, et al., Optik. Int. J. Light Electron Opt. (2016)], were numerically simulated. In this work, the performance of double junction InGaP/GaAs solar cell is modified by adding a thin Carbon Nano tubes film. It was predicted that by adding a 110 nm thin carbon nano tubes film on the surface of the cell, the efficiency would be modified and would increase from 40.879% to 41.95%. Finally, the performances of the cell before and after the addition of the CNT thin film were compared.
 

In this paper, we propose and evaluate a novel design of a lightly doped drain and source carbon nanotube field effect transistor (LDDS-CNTFET) with a negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristic, called negative differential resistance LDDS-CNTFET (NDR-LDDS-CNTFET). The device was simulated by using a non equilibrium Green’s function method. To achieve this phenomenon, we have created two quantum wells in the intrinsic channel by using two n-type regions. In the wells that are separated by a thin barrier, two resonance states are generated. On the other hand, the thickness of the barrier between the source and the well is variable depending on the energy level. Accordingly, with increasing gate-source voltage, the number of tunneling electrons and consequently drain-source current are varied. Furthermore, we have presented a structure with two n-type and three p-type regions in the channel that illustrates a larger NDR region. In this structure, the peak and valley of the drain-source current are shifted when compared with the previous structure. Finally, we investigated the effect of doping concentration on the NDR parameter.
