  • Medium scale carbon nanotube thin film integrated circuits on flexible plastic substrates
    Patent number: 8946683
    Abstract: The present invention provides device components geometries and fabrication strategies for enhancing the electronic performance of electronic devices based on thin films of randomly oriented or partially aligned semiconducting nanotubes. In certain aspects, devices and methods of the present invention incorporate a patterned layer of randomly oriented or partially aligned carbon nanotubes, such as one or more interconnected SWNT networks, providing a semiconductor channel exhibiting improved electronic properties relative to conventional nanotubes-based electronic systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 16, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 3, 2015
    Assignees: The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: John A. Rogers, Qing Cao, Muhammad Alam, Ninad Pimparkar
