TOKYO – NEC Corp. has developed a technology to produce carbon nanotube (CNT) transistors using a printing process.
By reviewing insulation ink and ink for metals, corrosion resistance in areas between transistor layers are enhanced. Also, resin substrates can be used because temperatures during production are less than 200° C. CNT transistors that were produced using the technology showed p-type conductivity and an on/off ratio of approximately 1,000, according to the company.
