Abstract

A method and an apparatus for doping at least one of a graphene and a nanotube thin-film transistor field-effect transistor device to decrease contact resistance with a metal electrode. The method includes selectively applying a dopant to a metal contact region of at least one of a graphene and a nanotube field-effect transistor device to decrease the contact resistance of the field-effect transistor device.
