Carbon nanotubes : device physics, RF circuits, surface science, and nanotechnology
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this dissertation, we report on our research to advance the understanding and development of carbon nanotubes into a functional nanotechnology that will enable novel applications and products. Our research approach is interdisciplinary in nature involving progress on many fronts including material synthesis, device physics and compact modeling, circuits, and monolithic integration with silicon substrates for optimum performance and integration. Specifically, this dissertation reports new results advancing the science and technology of carbon nanotubes including: i) analytical development of the physics of CNTs providing direct insight into the electro-physical properties, ii) experimentally-verified analytical current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics of CNTs facilitating circuit design and analysis, iii) elucidation of the material science of nanotube synthesis enabling large-scale synthesis of aligned growth, and iv) monolithic integration of CNTs and CMOS for hybrid nanotechnology for future nanoelectronics.
