Abstract :
The manufacturing yield of carbon nanotube transistors is very sensitive to changes in fabrication process parameters, while controlling length, density and orientation of nanotubes simultaneously is still proving elusive in batch fabrication processes. Here, we show an electrode design with a yield of up to 45% working transistors despite our batch fabrication process being based on randomly grown nanotubes. Transistor parameter distributions of 765 devices are shown, demonstrating the potential of our design for process monitoring and control.
