Abstract
A single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) network is fabricated and its electronic transport properties are investigated. It shows a typical p-type field-effect-transistor (FET) behavior and nonlinearities in the source current-source bias characteristics. The network also exhibits incomplete turn-off and a small mobility. These characteristics are explained by the fact that the network is a mixture of metallic and semiconducting SWCNTs connecting with one another. Various cross junctions such as SWCNT (semiconducting)-SWCNT (semiconducting), SWCNT (semiconducting)-SWCNT (metallic) are the source of nonlinearities and the small mobility. Incomplete turn-off can be explained by the parallel conduction paths consisting of metallic SWCNTs which are insensitive to the gate bias.
