Incorporating aligned carbon nanotube electrode arrays in organic thin-film transistors

Thin-film Single-walled Carbon Nanotube Transistors Fabricated Using Mechanical Meniscus Aligned Arrays by Vineet Nazareth

Fully transparent thin-film transistors based on aligned carbon nanotube arrays and indium tin oxide electrodes.

Adv. Mater. 2008, 20, 1–5 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag Gmb The development of mechanically flexible and/or optically transparent electronics could enable next-generation electronics technologies, which would be easy-to-read, light-weight, unbreakable, transparent, and flexible. Potential applications could include transparent monitors, heads-up displays, and conformable products. Recent reports have d...

Carbon nanotube thin film transistors based on aerosol methods.

We demonstrate a fabrication method for high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs) based on dry-processed random single-walled carbon nanotube networks (CNTNs) deposited at room temperature. This method is an advantageous alternative to solution-processed and direct CVD grown CNTN FETs, which allows using various substrate materials, including heat-intolerant plastic substrates, and enabl...

Performance of carbon nanotube-dispersed thin-film transistors

A numerical technique that relies on modifying the organic semiconducting host with metallic carbon nanotubes CNTs to increase the transconductance or, equivalently, reduce effective channel length Leff has recently been proposed. The authors use an extensive set of experimental data to analyze the performance of these transistors using the theory of heterogeneous two-dimensional percolating ne...

Patterned Carbon Nanotube Thin-Film Transistors with Transfer-Print Assembly

Conditions for the transfer printing of patterned carbon nanotube (CNT) films, along with a Au-gate, a poly methylmethacrylate (PMMA) dielectric layer and Au source-drain electrodes have been developed for the fabrication of thin-film transistors on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown CNTs were patterned using a photolithographic method. Transfer ...
