Wafer-Scale Carbon Nanotubes Diodes Based on Dielectric-Induced Electrostatic Doping.

Diodes based on p-n junctions are fundamental building blocks for numerous circuits, including rectifiers, photovoltaic cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and photodetectors. However, conventional doping techniques to form p- or n-type semiconductors introduce impurities that lead to Coulomb scattering. When it comes to low-dimensional materials, controllable and stable doping is challenging due to the feature of atomic thickness.
