Abstract

Bottom gate and top gate field-effect transistor based carbon nanotube(CNT) were fabricated by CMOS process. Carbon nanotube directly grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition(CVD) using Ethylene ($C_2H_4$) gas at $700^{\circ}C$. The growth properties of CNTs on the device were analyzed by SEM and AFM. The electrical transport characteristics of CNT FET were investigated by I-V measurement. Transport through the nanotubes is dominated by holes at room temperature. By varying the gate voltage, bottom gate and top gate field-effect transistor successfully modulated the conductance of FET device.

본 연구에서는 기존의 반도체 공정을 이용하여 bottom gate, top gate구조의 탄소나노튜브 트랜지스터를 제작하였다. 게이트 특성에 따른 특성을 연구하기 위하여 열화학 기상 증착법(CVD)으로 탄소나노튜브를 디바이스에 직접 성장시키고, 탄소나노튜브의 성장 특성 및 I-V동작 특성을 분석하였다. 제작된 탄소나노튜브 FET는 p-type, 즉 hole이 다수 캐리어로 존재하는 트랜지스터이며 구동전압에 따라 conductance 변화하는 특성을 보였다.
