  • Abstract
    We present a novel, VLSI compatible technique to fabricate n-type carbon nanotube (CNT) transistors using yttrium oxide as gate dielectric. Wafer-scale, aligned CNT transistors with yttrium oxide (Y2Ox) dielectrics exhibit n-type behavior with Ion/Ioff of 106 and subthreshold slope of 95 mV/dec. Controlled, slow evaporation of yttrium (Y) forms a smooth oxide surface that has excellent wetting to CNTs which consistently gives rise to strong n-type behavior in CNT transistors.
