Abstract
All-carbon-based semiconductor devices are provided. In accordance with an example embodiment, an apparatus includes n-type and p-type carbon-based semiconductor material that form a p-n junction, which are respectively coupled to electrodes having a carbon allotrope. A first one of electrodes is connected to the n-type material and a second one of the electrodes is connected to the p-type material, and collect charge presented at the p-n junction.
