Electrical Contacts to Nanotubes and Nanowires: Why Size Matters

Leonard F., Talin A.A., Sandia National Laboratories, US

Electrical contacts play a key role in electronics. As new materials such as nanotubes and nanowires are explored for nanoelectronics, the fundamental aspects of electrical contacts need to be re-examined due to the unique properties [...]

Carbon Nanotube Cathode on Metal Surface Formed with BGA Balls

Chung M., Chang C-C, Chang Y.Y., Huang B.R., Fu C.S., Chang C-C, Chang Y.Y., Lai S.W., Chiou J.M., Southern Taiwan University of Technology, TW

Carbon nanotube is the primary field emission source in many applications, but there has been limited report on direct growth of CNT on metal surface with CVD method due to technical difficulties. This research propose [...]

Fabrication and Modeling of CNT Field-Emission Devices

Koohsorkhi J., Rouhi N., Abdi Y., Mohajerzadeh S., Robertson M.D., Thompson R.D., Acadia University, CA

We report the fabrication of field-emission devices based on vertically aligned carbon nanotubes that possess a novel gate structure with applications in flat-panel displays, nanolithography systems and new sensor technologies. The devices consist of CNTs [...]

Development of Carbon Nanotubes Vacuum Field Emission Devices

Kang W.P., Wong Y.M., Davidson J.L., Kerns D.V., Huang J.H., Galloway K.F., Vanderbilt University, US

This report focuses on the design, fabrication and characterization of vacuum field emission (VFE) devices, specifically on the triode and integrated differential amplifier (diff-amp), utilizing CNTs synthesized by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition in conjunction [...]
