The Field Effect Transistor using nanotechnology is known as Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (CNTFET). Which promising nano-scaled devices for implementing high performance very dense and low power circuits. A Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor refers to a FET with a single CNT or an array of CNT's as the channel material instead of bulk silicon in the traditional MOSFET structure...

The gate dependence of a Coulomb attractive random telegraph signal is observed in a single-walled carbon nanotube field effect transistor for temperatures varying from 0.32 to 24 K. The mechanism of the Coulomb attractive random telegraph signal is attributed to the carrier tunneling between the carbon nanotube and the Coulomb attractive defect. The random telegraph signal is also studied unde...

The carbon nanotube field emitter array was grown on silicon substrate through a resist-assisted patterning (RAP) process. The shape of the carbon nanotube array is elliptical with 2.0 × 0.5 mm for an isotropic focal spot size at anode target. The field emission properties with triode electrodes show a gate turn-on field of 3 V/μm at an anode emission current of 0.1 mA. The author demonstrated ...

We describe the nanofabrication study of self-aligned electrodes on suspended multiwalled carbon nanotube structures. When metal is deposited on a suspended multiwalled carbon nanotube structure, the nanotube acts as an evaporation mask, resulting in the formation of discontinuous electrodes. The metal deposits on the nanotubes are removed with lift-off. Using Al sacrificial layers, it was poss...

in this study, incorporation of iron ion-doped natrolite nanozeolite, multi-wall carbon nanotubes into chitosan-coated glassy carbon electrode for the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid, epinephrine, uric acid and tyrosine is studied. the results show that the combination of multi-wall carbon nanotubes and iron ion-doped natrolite zeolite causes a dramatic enhancement in the sensitivit...

extraction of intact quality dna from plant tissues, especially those rich in secondary metabolites, is often challenging. literally, hundreds of different dna isolation protocols from various plant species have been published over the last decades. although many commercial dna isolation kits are convenient and designed to be safe, their cost and availability cause limitations in small molecula...

in this work, we report a new well dispersed molybdenum complex attached through the mediation of aminopropylsilyl groups on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts). the prepared hybrid nanomaterial was characterized with different physicochemical methods such as fourier transform infrared and atomic absorption spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-...

Carbon nanotubes change their electronic properties when subjected to strains. In this study, the strain sensing characteristic of carbon nanotubes is used to develop a carbon nanotube film sensor that can be used for strain sensing on the macro scale. The carbon nanotube film is isotropic due to randomly oriented bundles of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Using experimental results it i...

Since their discovery, the possibility of connecting carbon nanotubes together like water pipes has been an intriguing prospect for these hollow nanostructures. The serial joining of carbon nanotubes in a controlled manner offers a promising approach for the bottom-up engineering of nanotube structures--from simply increasing their aspect ratio to making integrated carbon nanotube devices. To d...

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors are strong candidates in replacing or supplementing silicon technology. Although theoretical studies have projected that nanotube transistors will perform well at nanoscale device dimensions, most experimental studies have been carried out on devices that are about ten times larger than current silicon transistors. Here, we show that nanotube transistors...
