High frequency characterization for the single-walled carbon nanotubes using S-parameter

Metallic carbon nanotube (CNT) is a potential material for nano-scale transmission lines as well as high performance passive components in nano-scale systems. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were grown using CVD technique. Ti and Au were used for metal nodes. The characterization and analysis for metallic SWCNTs at GHz range are carried out in this paper. The S parameters of CNTs measured using network analyzer are reported for the first time.
