Methods, materials, systems and apparatus are described for depositing a separated nanotube networks, and fabricating, separated nanotube thin-film transistors and N-type separated nanotube thin-film transistors. In one aspect, a method of depositing a wafer-scale separated nanotube networks includes providing a substrate with a dielectric layer. The method includes cleaning a surface of the wafer substrate to cause the surface to become hydrophilic. The cleaned surface of the wafer substrate is functionalized by applying a solution that includes linker molecules terminated with amine groups. High density, uniform separated nanotubes are assembled over the functionalized surface by applying to the functionalized surface a separated nanotube solution that includes semiconducting nanotubes.
摘要:
Indium oxide nanowires are used for determining information about different chemicals or Biologics. Chemicals are absorbed to the surface of the nanowires, and cause the semiconducting characteristics of the Nanowires to change. These changed characteristics are sensed, and used to determine either the presence of the materials and/or the concentration of the materials. The nanowires may be between 10 and 30 nm in diameter, formed using a comparable size particle of catalyst material. The nanowires may then be used as part of the channel of a field effect transistor, and the field effect transistor is itself characterized.
