Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may enable the fabrication of integrated circuits smaller than 10 nanometers, but this would require scalable production dense and electronically pure semiconducting nanotube arrays on wafers. We developed a multiple dispersion sorting process that resulted in extremely high purity dimension-limited self-alignment (DLSA) procedure for preparing well-aligned CNT (within alignment 9 degrees) with tunable density 100 to 200 CNTs per micrometer 10-centimeter...

Cooler electrons for transistors The operating power of field-effect is constrained in part by the minimum change voltage needed to current output. This subthreshold swing (SS) limit caused hotter from a thermal electron source leaking over potential gate electrode. Qiu et al. show that graphene can act as Dirac creates narrower distribution energies. When coupled carbon nanotube channel, decrease SS would allow supply be decreased 0.7 0.5 volts.

Abstract Since Si‐based Moore's law is physically limited, 2D semiconductors are proposed as successors to continue shrinking the transistor size for more Moore electronics. However, limited by experimental technology bottlenecks, theoretical predicted superiorities of transistors over state‐of‐the‐art Si have been lacking concrete evidence a decade. In this review, recent exciting breakthroughs presented, including gate length miniaturization sub‐1 nm limit, electrode contact optimization...

Abstract Complementary metal‐oxide‐semiconductor (CMOS) field‐effect transistors (FETs) are the key component of a chip. Bulk indium arsenide (InAs) owns nearly 30 times higher electron mobility µ e than silicon but suffers from much lower hole h ( / = 80), thus unsuited to CMOS application with single material.
