40.1  INTRODUCTION

Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are one of the most promising practical applications of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) due to their flexible filament-like structure and high carrier mobility [1]. For the fabrication of industrial electrical devices, it is an inevitable issue to utilize both p- and n-type transistors as basic components of the electrical circuits. Since oxygen and water molecules adsorbing on the surface of SWNTs are known to play ...
