Abstract

In this work, we introduce a model of three-terminal Single molecular transistor (SMT). The  structure of the SMT is in shape like traditional MOSFET, but its conductive channel is replaced by  a benzene-1,4-dithiolate molecule.  SMT is a promising alternative candidate of traditional MOSFET in future due to its small size, low power and high speed. We use non-equilibrium Green’s function method to compute transport function of charges and ultimately, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. The program is written by using graphic user guide (GUI) in Matlab. We have found difference of I-V characteristics between MOSFET and SMT. In addition, impacts of types of material, temperature, and bias on I-V characteristics of the SMT have been considered. Using GUI in Mablab, obtained results of simulations are intuitively displayed.
