High-Performance Carbon Nanotube Based Transient Thin-Film Transistors with Good Uniformity for Complementary Electronics

Transient electronics is an emerging class of electronic devices with broad applications in ‘green’electronics, hardware-secure devices, medical implants, etc. Due to the advantage of low static power consumption, high noise immunity and simple design layout, complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology is dominant in integrated circuits design and also highly preferred for transient electronics. However, the performance of complementary transient electronics is severely restricted by the confined selection of transient materials. Here, for the first time, transient complementary electronics are realized with high performance and high uniformity based on carbon nanotube (CNT) thin films via a reliable electrostatic doping method.
