Carbon Nanotubes: Short Channel Field-Effect-Transistors with Inkjet-Printed Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes (Small 41/2015)

For short-channel field-effect transistors with inkjet-printed semiconducting carbon nanotubes, a novel fabrication strategy is developed by M. C. Hersam, A. Dodabalapur, and co-workers to minimize material consumption. On page 5505 they show how a single droplet of 10 pL ink containing 0.5 pg of nanotubes can be used, confining the inkjet droplet into the active channel area. This fabrication approach is compatible with roll-to-roll processing and enables the formation of high-performance short channel device arrays based on inkjet printing.
