Transparent, flexible all-carbon electron devices

Abstract

Carbon nanotube (CNT) thin films are rare materials with multi-functionality in addition to superior electric, optical and mechanical characteristics. This article introduces all-carbon devices having a semiconductor layer and electrodes, with wiring made of a CNT thin film. They are flexible and transparent as well as having the ability to be thermoformed into a variety of 3D shapes. Taking advantage of these characteristics allows the realization of unobservable devices or 3D or highly designable devices.
