Device Fabrication
1.4 nm diameter s- SWNT dispersed on SiO2
Ti contacts 50 nm thick formed using optical lithography and lift-off
Annealing in argon at 850°C
TiC forms at nanotube-Ti interface → abrupt junctions
10 nm SiO2
deposited at room temperature and annealed at 400°C → 700°C
p+ silicon substrate

Isd = 18 μA
Conclusion
Schottky barriers form at CNT-metal interface allowing for ambipolar operation when Vs < Vg < Vd
Infrared light emission observed polarized linearly along nanotube axis
Emission at a maximum when Vg = Vsd/2
Emission confined to small length ≈ 2 μm and can be spatially resolved
