Abstract :
We introduce a vertical carbon nanotube capacitor with high capacitance per unit area. Using an electrical model of single-walled, metallic carbon nanotubes and the extracted capacitance values of a carbon nanotube bundle network, we develop an electrical model for the capacitor. The device can exhibit a capacitance greater than 175fF/mum2.
