This paper presents design, analysis and simulation of emerging memory device i.e. Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell. In nano-range devices, Carbon nanotubes field effect transistor (CNTFET) has shown a outstanding performance. CNTFET has been proved as better replacement for silicon devices. The characteristics of CNTFETs at different channel lengths and at different technologies are designed and analyzed. Complete current transport model is developed from carrier concentration in CNT for different chirality. The model describes the variation of charge developed on CNT with gate voltage. I-V characteristics have been efficiently modeled and compact model is developed for HSPICE circuit simulations. Finally 6T and 8T SRAM cell is designed with developed model and analysis is done for various performance metrics. Results show that CNTFET based 6T and 8T-SRAM consumes very less standby power with high static noise margins.
