This paper presents the high frequency performance of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) field-effect transistors, with channel consisting of dense networks of high purity semiconducting SWNTs. Using SWNT samples containing 99% pure semiconducting SWNTs, we achieved operating frequencies above 80 GHz. This record frequency does not require aligned SWNTs, thus demonstrating the remarkable potential of random networks of sorted SWNTs for high frequency electronics.
