Polysilicon Aluminum JFET – Junction Field Effect Transistor MOSFET - Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor n-channel MOSFET (nMOS) & p-channel MOSFET (pMOS)

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have emerged as a very promising new class of electronic materials. The fabrication and electronic properties of devices based on individual SWNTs are reviewed. Both metallic and semiconducting SWNTs are found to possess electrical characteristics that compare favorably to the best electronic materials available. Manufacturability issues, however, remain a major challenge.
