Abstract

Methods and apparatus for an electronic device such as a field effect transistor. One embodiment includes fabrication of an FET utilizing single walled carbon nanotubes as the semiconducting material. In one embodiment, the FETs are vertical arrangements of SWCNTs, and in some embodiments prepared within porous anodic alumina (PAA). Various embodiments pertain to different methods for fabricating the drains, sources, and gates.
