Abstract:
Our goal is to investigate the fundamental properties and the applications of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in Field Effect Transistor. Due to the outstanding and exceptional properties of carbon nanotubes, many different types of CNTs have been produced at the industrial scale over the last two decades. In this study, types of carbon nanotubes, electrical properties of SWCNT and applications are analyzed. The theoretical formulations are briefly investigated for energy bandgap and I-V characteristics of SWCNT. Based on the theory, the IV characteristics of SWCNT-based FET for different diameter of SWCNT have been analyzed. It is found that the energy gap of SWCNT decreases at increased diameter, and higher drain current was found for larger diameter SWCNT.
