摘要: We use an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip to locally probe the electronic properties of semiconducting carbon nanotube transistors. A gold-coated AFM serves as a voltage or current in three-probe measurement setup. Using movable probe, we investigate scaling device with channel length. study contacts. find that Au makes excellent contact p region, no Schottky barrier. In n large resistances were found which dominate transport properties.
