Abstract

Since the invention of the first transistor, the interdisciplinary researches involving chemistry, materials science, and solid-state physics have contributed to the development of semiconductor electronics. At the crossroads towards future electronics, biological systems inspire the evolving of computing architectures and manufacturing framework. For instance, the high-resolution DNA self-assembly tools, developed in synthetic biology, have recently been used to construct ultra-scaled CNT transistors at a resolution superior to conventional lithography, which displayed fast on/off switching characteristics. Meanwhile, by wiring multiple individual CNT transistors, we demonstrated Boolean logic gates within the bio-templated electronics. Our works suggest the potentials of building complex energy-efficient circuits from the bio-templated assembly of CNTs.
