On the basis of carbon nanotube-based micro-and nano-electronic devices,this paper reviews the progress on improving the electrical contact performance of CNTs with metal electrodes in recent years. The methods available for improving the electrical contact performance of CNTs with metal electrodes and their principles along with their advantages and disadvantages are described. By using ultrasonic bonding,metal nanoparticle adhesion,carbon fiber assisted assembly and coating of CNTs,the CNT field emitters with low threshold voltage,high emission current density and good stability are obtained. By employing the atomic layer deposition method,the solution processing method,the ultrasonic bonding method,and high temperature annealing method,the electrical contact performance of CNTs with metal electrodes can be greatly improved,and hence the electron mobility,transconductance and on/off switching ratio of CNT field effect transistors are all increased. While the treatment processes of chemically mechanical polishing and electron beam induced deposition can increase the contact area between CNTs and metal electrodes,and reduce the contact resistance of between them,therefore CNT interconnects with high current-carrying capacity are achieved.
