Nanoelectronics, the study and application of electronic components and systems at the nanometer scale, plays a pivotal role in advancing modern technology toward faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient devices. Among the various nanomaterials explored for these applications, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as one of the most promising candidates due to their exceptional electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. This project report presents an in-depth exploration of the role of carbon nanotubes in shaping the future of nanoelectronics devices.

The report begins by detailing the unique structural and compositional features of CNTs, followed by a comprehensive overview of their synthesis techniques, including arc discharge, laser ablation, and chemical vapor deposition. The core of the study focuses on the integration of CNTs into key nanoelectronics components such as field-effect transistors (FETs), interconnects, nanoscale sensors, and flexible electronic circuits. The remarkable performance characteristics of CNT-based devices, particularly in enhancing speed and reducing power consumption, are critically analyzed.

In addition, the report addresses several technical challenges associated with the practical implementation of CNTs. These include issues related to controlled fabrication, chirality selection, device-to-device variability, and difficulties in achieving reliable large-scale integration. The study emphasizes the importance of overcoming these barriers to unlock the full potential of CNTs in commercial nanoelectronics systems.

The report concludes by highlighting recent research breakthroughs and future directions for CNT-based technologies. It underscores the need for continued multidisciplinary research efforts to harness the capabilities of CNTs and pave the way for their widespread adoption in next-generation electronics.

Keywords: Nanoelectronics, Nanotubes, CNT, Carbon nanotubes, CNTFETs.
