Carbon nanotube mosfet and CNTFET?

Question

can anyone tell me what is the difference between a carbon nanotube and a CNTFET? or are they the same thing?

Answer 1

CNT = carbon nanotube

FET = field-effect transistor

I can only guess that the CNTFET functions like a MOSFET (MOS = metal oxide semiconductor), but uses carbon nanotubes instead of metal pathways.

In any case, the CNTFET will contain nanotubes, but it will be more complicated than a single nanotube.
