Continuous Fabrication of Meter‐Scale Single‐Wall Carbon Nanotube Films and their Use in Flexible and Transparent Integrated Circuits

2018 
: Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), especially in the form of large-area and high-quality thin films, are a promising material for use in flexible and transparent electronics. Here, a continuous synthesis, deposition, and transfer technique is reported for the fabrication of meter-scale SWCNT thin films, which have an excellent optoelectrical performance including a low sheet resistance of 65 Ω/◽ with a transmittance of 90% at a wavelength of 550 nm. Using these SWCNT thin films, high-performance all-CNT thin-film transistors and integrated circuits are demonstrated, including 101-stage ring oscillators. The results pave the way for the future development of large-scale, flexible, and transparent electronics based on CNT thin films.
