This document discusses carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) as a potential substitute for MOSFETs. CNTFETs could help overcome limitations of MOSFET scaling by providing higher carrier mobility, excellent electrostatics, and gate control. CNTFETs exhibit advantages like better threshold voltage and subthreshold slope control as well as higher current density and transconductance compared to MOSFETs. However, mass production of CNTFETs faces challenges related to defects, failure rates, and production costs that are higher than for traditional CMOS.
