SEMILITH - The Application Space
Powering the THz and Quantum Electronics Future
SEMILITH is not just a material, it is a mechanism. By ensuring a high semiconducting nanotube purity, MMM provides the foundation for technologies that operate at the limits of modern physics.
1. Solution Printed Electronics
SEMILITH can be used to deposit planar thin film transistors from a solution state on any kind of substrate, and process the final device under atmospheric conditions and at room temperature.
As a result we can enable inkjet printed electronics and logic on flexible and disposable substrates, and on top of that we can also stack logic layers in a true monolithic fashion.
2. Terahertz (THz) Generation & Phased Arrays
When bridged across a micro-gap antenna and subjected to a DC voltage, the extreme purity of SEMILITH allows electrons to enter the Negative Differential Conductivity (NDC) regime without metallic shorting. This triggers the Gunn Effect, causing the SWCNTs to emit coherent, continuous-wave 1 THz radiation.
3. Next-Generation RF & Logic FETs
As silicon approaches its absolute thermodynamic limits, SEMILITH offers a carbon-based alternative.
With near-ballistic transport over micron-scale channels and zero parasitic metallic leakage, our s-SWCNTs are ideal for ultra-fast, low-capacitance Field-Effect Transistors operating in the sub-picosecond domain.
