Abstract

The ac performance of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) has been characterized using two approaches involving: 1) time- and 2) frequency-domain measurements. A high input impedance measurement system was used to demonstrate time-domain switching of CNFETs at frequencies up to 100 kHz. The low level of signal crosstalk in CNFETs fabricated on quartz substrates enabled frequency-domain measurements of the ac response of CNFETs in the megahertz range, over five orders of magnitude higher in frequency than previously reported ac measurements of CNFET devices.
