Abstract

See full text

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a first dielectric layer on a substrate, forming a carbon nanotube (CNT) layer on the first dielectric layer, forming a second dielectric layer on the carbon nanotube (CNT) layer, patterning a plurality of trenches in the second dielectric layer exposing corresponding portions of the carbon nanotube (CNT) layer, forming a plurality of contacts respectively in the plurality of trenches on the exposed portions of the carbon nanotube (CNT) layer, performing a thermal annealing process to create end-bonds between the plurality of the contacts and the carbon nanotube (CNT) layer, and depositing a passivation layer on the plurality of the contacts and the second dielectric layer.
