  • Abstract
    On-chip subtraction of capacitive parasitic effects is proposed for microwave characterization of individual metallic single-walled carbon nanotube (mSWNT) that yields low intensity signals. The method dramatically reduces capacitive parasitic effects to uncover the otherwise buried signals. Both computer simulations and experimental measurements of small capacitance demonstrated the efficacy of the approach.
