The potential of carbon nanotubes for semiconductors

We evaluate CNTs as the basis for a new nano-electronic technology. After briefly reviewing the electronic structure and transport properties of CNTs. Particular emphasis is the use of carbon nanotubes as on-chip wiring (interconnects) and active devices (transistors), the two main building blocks of current semiconductor circuits. Further, the potential for integration of CNT devices is discussed.
