Single-walled carbon nanotubes were grown directly on a SiO_2 /Si substrate by chemical vapor deposition using patterned metal catalysts. Following the nanotube growth, Ca contacts with a small work function were formed by evaporating and lifting off the metal. The devices showed n-type transfer characteristics without any doping into the nanotube channel. In contrast, the devices with Pd contacts showed p-type conduction. These results can be explained by taking into account the work functions of the contact metals.}, pages = {073105--073105}, title = {n-type carbon nanotube field-effect transistors fabricated by using Ca contact electrodes}, volume = {86}, year = {2005} }
