Electronic bridge Single tube Semiconductor-enriched SWNTs are usable in thin-film FETs (TFT) High switching ratios can be achieved (app. 103) and high drive currents (>1 mA) They deliver strong photocurrents They are both photoluminescent and electroluminescent. These high performance semiconducting SWNT FETs also have demonstrated operating frequencies up to 80 GHz (109 operations per second).
