STRETCHABLE TRANSISTORS WITH BUCKLED CARBON NANOTUBE FILMS AS CONDUCTING CHANNELS

摘要

Thin-film transistors comprising buckled films comprising carbon nanotubes as the conductive channel are provided. Also provided are methods of fabricating the transistors. The transistors, which are highly stretchable and bendable, exhibit stable performance even when operated under high tensile strains.
