Abstract

The effects of the length of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on their thin film transistors (TFTs) were investigated by using SWCNTs sorted in length using size exclusion chromatography. Higher device performances were obtained in longer SWCNTs and it was found that the average length of the SWCNTs is an important factor to determine the device performance. Detailed analyses, in which the SWCNT density was normalized using percolation threshold, confirmed that the dependence of on-current on the normalized density approximately follows percolation theory, independently of the SWCNT length. On the other hand, the behaviors of off-current and on/off ratio showed the considerably different dependence among SWCNT lengths.
