Abstract—This study focuses on the fabrication of a Complementary Heterostructure Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (CHMOSFET) by combining a P-carbon nanotube with NMOS on a single chip to achieve miniaturized size below 0.1 micron and improved functionalities. The technology of conventional MOSFET and Nanotechnology is applied in this research. Consequently, the P-carbon nanotube acts as a PMOS while the conventional NMOS with a heavily doped polysilicon gate and a thick oxide is embedded on the same chip. Although it is possible to fabricate both a P and N carbon nanotube to form a complementary pair, and also a PMOS and NMOS to form a complementary pair, however this research chooses to form a heterostructure with improved functionalities. The enhanced features include a reduction in risk of sensitivity to input voltage fluctuations. It creates a better system of managing the valley current towards demarcating the On and Off modes of the device. It limits cryogenic operations. Also it enhances a better control of the effect of extreme sensitivity of tunneling current width of potential barriers.
