چکیده
In this work, we present the experimental investigation on the contact resistance of graphene/single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) junction using transfer length method with the simple equivalent circuit model. We find that p-n like junctions are formed in graphene/SWCNT transistors, and the contact resistance in the junction is observed to be ~ 494 and ~ 617 kΩ in case of metallic SWCNT (m-SWCNT) and semiconducting SWCNT (s-SWCNT), respectively. In addition, the contact resistance increases from 617 to 2316 kΩ as Vg increases from - 30 to - 10 V. Through our study, high carrier density induced from doping in both graphene and SWCNT leads to low contact resistance. This development of contact engineering, namely modulation of carrier density in the junction and contact length (Lcon) scaling shows the potential for all-carbon based electronics.

Airbrushed single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) thin films with sheet resistivity <1 kX/ sq. and transparency >80% are used as electrodes for pentacene and regioregular poly(3hexylthiophene) (P3HT) thin-film transistors (TFTs). Airbrushed SWCNT electrodes show low contact resistance in a bottom-contact configuration, comparable to (in the case of P3HT) or lower than (in the case of pentacene) ...
