Abstract

Carbon transistor devices having channels formed from carbon nanostructures, such as carbon nanotubes or graphene, and having charged monolayers to reduce parasitic resistance in un-gated regions of the channels, and methods for fabricating carbon transistor devices having charged monolayers to reduce parasitic resistance. For example, a carbon field effect transistor includes a channel comprising a carbon nanostructure formed on an insulating layer, a gate structure formed on the channel, a monolayer of DNA conformally covering the gate structure and a portion of the channel adjacent the gate structure, an insulating spacer conformally formed on the monolayer of DNA, and source and drain contacts connected by the channel.
