Abstract

A method of assembling a multi-walled carbon-nanotube field effect transistor (CNT-FET) was presented in this paper. A nanorobotic manipulation system with 11 positioning degrees of freedom (DOFs) was used for the real time nanomanipulation. The nanorobotic manipulation system was constructed inside the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) specimen chamber to pick up a single MWCNT from MWCNT bulk without any other bounding except van der Waals force and assemble a CNT-FET with three AFM cantilevers, which were applied as gate, drain, source of CNT-FET respectively. An AFM cantilever (Olympus, OMCL-TR400PB-1) was etched to a gate electrode with a width of 2.00 μm and a length of 8.30 μm by a focused ion beam (FIB) process. A single multi-walled carbon-nanotube field (MWCNT), 51 nm in diameter, was used as conductive channel to accomplish the transport process of charge carriers between Source and Drain. Finally, a novel structure of CNT-FET was constructed in our experiments.
