Record resistivity for in-situ grown horizontal carbon nanotubes interconnects

Dijon J., Ramos R., Fournier A., Fournier H., Le Poche H., Fournier A., Fournier H., Okuno H., Simonato J-P, CEA-Liten, FR

Carbon in the form of nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene is the only known material that can replace copper in integrated circuits to carry the high current densities associated with advanced interconnects. Its implementation is however [...]

Electrical Nerve Agents Sensors Based on Chemically Functionalized Nanomaterials

Simonato J-P, CEA, FR

The threat of a chemical attack continues to grow and recent examples such as the terrorist attack of the Metro of Tokyo have shown that organophosphorus agents (OPs) are powerful neurotoxic weapons. There is still [...]

Highly Flexible Transparent Thin Film Heaters based on Metallic Nanowires

Simonato J-P, CEA, FR

We demonstrate that flexible transparent film heaters (TFHs) with excellent performances can be fabricated from solution-processible metallic nanowire thin films. The TFHs were first deposited on glass and heating performances were monitored at different applied [...]

Innovative Gas Sensors for Sub-ppm Detection of Organophosphorus Nerve Agents by Chemically Functionalized Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors

Carella A., Caillier L., Clavaguera S., Celle C., Simonato J-P, CEA, FR

In this communication, we will present innovative sensors based on carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNT-FET) for detection of organophosphorus agents (OP, Sarin-like molecules). We have functionalized CNT with organic moieties reactive towards OPs that form [...]
