Here, we report a novel solvent evaporation method to align SWNTs in patterns having nanoscale width and micronscale length. SWNTs suspension has been introduced dropwise onto photoresist resin microchannels; and the capillary force can stretch and align SWNTs into strands with nanoscale width in the microchannels. Then these narrow and long aligned SWNTs patterns were successfully transferred to a pair of gold electrodes with different gaps to fabricate carbon nanotube field-effect transistor(CNTFET). Moreover, the electrical performance of the CNTFET show that the SWNTs strands can bridge different gaps and fabricate good electrical performance CNTFET with ON/OFF ratio around 106. This result suggests a promising and simple strategy for assembling well-aligned SWNTs into CNTFET device with good electrical performance.展开更多

In this paper, we reported a simple, scalable way to enrich semiconducting SWNTs by using HNO3/H2SO4. Then carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFET) biosensor was fabricated with the enrichment SWNTs for Escherichia coli O157︰H7 detection. The response of each CNTFET was monitored in real time before and after introduction of the Escherichia coli O157︰H7 at various concentrations. The results show that CNT-FET biosensors we fabricated are sensitive to change of concentration of solution and response time is really short.展开更多
