By investigating the Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNFET), this paper proposes a design scheme of low power ternary CNFET gate circuit. The structure of CNFET and the various size of carbon nanotubes corresponding to the different threshold voltages are first analyzed, followed by designing ternary inverter, NAND gate, NOR gate and other unit gate circuit, all of which are implemented on the basis of multi-valued logic theory. Finally, HSPICE is used to simulate the circuit design. The results show that the designed circuits have expected logic functionality. Comparing with the traditional ternary gate circuit, the transmission speed of CNFET gate circuit increases on average by 52.7%, and energy is saved by 54.9%.
