The dualgatematerial MOSlike Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (CCNFETs) based device design, proposed by our research group, can not only increase the ONOFF current ratio, tune the subthreshold voltage, decrease the device power, but also eliminate the ambipolar transport property of the traditional MOSlike CNFETs effectively. However, as a typical lowdimensional system, such CCNFETs design suffers from the effect of quantum capacitance inevitably. In this paper, based on a study of the working principle of this novel device design, we make a first research into the effect of quantum capacitance on the transport property of it. The results show that quantum capacitance can not only result in a great increase of the OFF current and a corresponding decrease of the ONOFF current ratio, but also destroy the unipolar transport property of this novel device design, which would have a negative impact on its application in circuits. In order to decrease the impacts of quantum capacitance as greatly as possible, several suggestions are given at the end of the paper.
