Melting of metallic electrodes and their flowing through a carbon nanotube channel within a device.

چکیده
Evidence is presented of a new cause of Joule heating within a simple electronic device involving a multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT) mounted on two metal electrodes forming an electrical circuit. This time-resolved, high-resolution in situ observation of metal electrode material melting and its flow driven by the thermomigration and electromigration forces through the CNT channel sheds an additional light on the effects affecting the real electrical performance of the CNT-based devices.

Due to emergence of serious obstacles by scaling of the transistors dimensions, it has been obviously proved that silicon technology should be replaced by a new one having a high ability to overcome the barriers of scaling to nanometer regime. Among various candidates, carbon nanotube (CNT) field effect transistors are introduced as the most promising devices for substituting the silicon-based ...
متن کاملElectrical transport through carbon nanotube junctions created by mechanical manipulation
Using an atomic force microscope we have created nanotube junctions such as buckles and crossings within individual single-wall metallic carbon nanotubes connected to metallic electrodes. The electronic transport properties of these manipulated structures show that they form electronic tunnel junctions. The conductance shows power-law behavior as a function of bias voltage and temperature, whic...
متن کاملFabrication of carbon nanotube field effect transistors by AC dielectrophoresis method
Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) suspended in isopropyl alcohol have been placed between two electrodes by AC dielectrophoresis method. The number of SWNTs bridging the two electrodes is controlled by SWNT concentration of the suspension and deposition time. Through selectively burning off the metallic SWNTs by current induced oxidation, the back-gate carbon nanotube field effect transistor...
متن کاملA novel lightly doped drain and source Carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET) with negative differential resistance
In this paper, we propose and evaluate a novel design of a lightly doped drain and source carbon nanotube field effect transistor (LDDS-CNTFET) with a negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristic, called negative differential resistance LDDS-CNTFET (NDR-LDDS-CNTFET). The device was simulated by using a non equilibrium Green’s function method. To achieve this phenomenon, we have created...
