  43. Single Nanotube Inverter - IBM Atomic Force Microscope image showing the design of an intra-molecular logic gate. A single carbon nanotube (shaded in blue) is positioned over gold electrodes to produce two p-type carbon nanotube field-effect transistors in series. The device is covered by an insulated layer (called PMMA) and a window is opened by e-beam lithography to expose part of the nanotube. Potassium is then evaporated through this window to convert the exposed p-type nanotube transistor into an n-type nanotube transistor, while the other nanotube transistor remains p-type.
