Carbon Nanotube FET Technology for Radio-Frequency Electronics: State-of-the-Art Overview

Abstract

Carbon-based electronics is an emerging field. Its present progress is largely dominated by the materials science community due to the many still existing materials-related obstacles for realizing practically competitive transistors. Compared to graphene, carbon nanotubes provide better properties for building field-effect transistors, and thus, have higher chances for eventually becoming a production technology.
