Abstract
Carbon nanotubes have unique properties that make them a most promising system on which to base molecular electronics. We briefly review the electrical characteristics of carbon nanotubes, and then focus on carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs). Procedures by which hole-transport, electron-transport and ambipolar CNTFETs can be fabricated are presented, and their electrical characteristics are discussed and compared with those of Si MOSFETs. Ways to fabricate arrays of CNTFETs are also demonstrated, and electron and hole CNTFETs are integrated to form complementary logic circuits.Keywords
