In this work, we overcome temperature constraints and demonstrate 1D\u20132D thin-film transistors (1D\u20132D TFTs) in a low-temperature (maximum exposure \u226480 \u00b0C) full print-in-place process (i.e., no substrate removal from printer throughout the entire process) using an aerosol jet printer. Semiconducting 1D CNT channels are used with a 2D hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) gate dielectric and traces of silver nanowires as the conductive electrodes, all deposited using the same printer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year 2019 \ud83d\ude01 Semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) printed into thin films offer high electrical performance, significant mechanical stability, and compatibility with low-temperature processing.
