Guided growth of large-scale, horizontally aligned arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes and their use in thin-film transistors.

Spatially selective guided growth of high-coverage arrays and random networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes and their integration into electronic devices.

The chemical vapor deposition growth of unusual arrangements of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by the combined of use patterned catalysts and quartz substrates is reported. Nearly perfectly aligned, high-coverage arrays of SWNTs can be generated in this manner. High-coverage random networks of SWNTs can also be created in the same growth step, with good spatial alignment and electrical ...

Scaling properties in transistors that use aligned arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Recent studies and device demonstrations indicate that horizontally aligned arrays of linearly configured single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can serve as an effective thin film semiconductor material, suitable for scalable use in high-performance transistors. This paper presents the results of systematic investigations of the dependence of device properties on channel length, to reveal the ...

High-performance electronics using dense, perfectly aligned arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have many exceptional electronic properties. Realizing the full potential of SWNTs in realistic electronic systems requires a scalable approach to device and circuit integration. We report the use of dense, perfectly aligned arrays of long, perfectly linear SWNTs as an effective thin-film semiconductor suitable for integration into transistors and other cl...

Experimental and theoretical studies of transport through large scale, partially aligned arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes in thin film type transistors.

Gate-modulated transport through partially aligned films of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in thin film type transistor structures are studied experimentally and theoretically. Measurements are reported on SWNTs grown by chemical vapor deposition with systematically varying degrees of alignment and coverage in transistors with a range of channel lengths and orientations perpendicular an...
