7 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). Wang C. et al., NanoLetters 9 (2009) 4285
