As the scaling down of silicon-based devices isreaching physical and technological limits, oth-ermaterials are actively being studied in orderto keep theminiaturization pace. Among these,single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) andmore recently graphene, have attracted a hugeattention. SWNTs are one-dimensionalmolecularstructures that canbe synthesized routinelywithdiameters in the nanometer range. They exhibituniqueelectronicpropertiesthatmakethemhighlypromisingfordevicefabricationbeyondtheCMOSera.ExceptionalSWNT-basedfield-effecttransistor(FET)characteristicshavealreadybeenpublished,thatoutperformbyfarthoseofstate-of-the-artSiMOSFETs.Optoelectronicdevices(LEDsandphoto-detectors)havealsobeendemonstrated.However,majorproblemsareslowingdownthedevelopmentofnanotubeelectronicsandoptoelectronics, suchas thenon-uniformityof theSWNTmaterial aftersynthesis(mixturesofmetallicandsemiconductorspecimensareinvariablyobtained),thedifficultyofmakingohmiccontacts(particularlytoSWNTswithdiametersof1nmorbelowwhicharetechnologicallyrelevant)andabovealltheformidablechallengeoforganizingSWNTsindensearrays,compatiblewith

modernULSIdevicedensities.Actually,inordertocircumventtheorganizationproblem,materialsanddevicescientistsaremoreandmoreusingnanotubemats(2Drandomnetworks)fordevicefabrication,withofcoursedegradedcharacteristics.Suchdevicescanbeusedforchemicalorbiologicalapplications.Ontheotherhand,multiwalledcarbonnanotubes(MWNTs) have extensively been studied for fieldemissionapplicationsoverthepastfewyears,andfield-emitted current values around 100μA/tubearenow routinely reached in cold cathodes.Also,electronemissioncanbemodulatedatmicrowavefrequencies,which opens up new prospects forelectrontubes.

Recently, graphene (an unrolled, flat carbonnanotube) and few-layergraphenematerials haveappearedandarethoroughlystudiedfortransistor(intheformofnarrowribbonsorbilayermaterial)andconductivethinfilmapplications.Thediscoveryof graphene in 2004 has been rewarded by the2010NobelPrizeinPhysics.Oneoftheinterestsofgraphene,azerogapsemiconductor,isthefactthatcarriersexhibitveryhighmobilities, evenat roomtemperature.Moreover,graphenecanbeprocessedand“carved”usingthewellknowparadigmandtoolsdevelopedbythesemiconductorindustry,whichisahugeadvantageoverCNTs.Thecreationofafor-biddengapingrapheneisanactivefieldofresearch.Thedesignanddevelopmentofhybridfilmsbasedongraphene are essential for novel applications.Thus,achemicalroutetofunctionalizegrapheneforcontrollableprocessingisakeyconcern.

Join us in celebrating the International Year of LightThe International Year of Light is a global initiative highlighting to the

citizens of the world the importance of light and light-based technologies

in their lives, for their futures, and for the development of society.

We hope that the International Year of Light will increase global

awareness of the central role of light in human activities and that the

brightest young minds continue to be attracted to careers in this field.
