A single-electron inverter has been fabricated in single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by connecting two single-electron transistors (SETs) in series. Each SET was fabricated in different SWNTs only by depositing metallic contacts on them. For one SET, SWNTs appeared to be single and semiconducting, while they appeared to form a bundle for the other SET. The inverter performance was obtained at 1.5 K with a full voltage swing and a gain of ~0.6, although the SETs were not fabricated from the simple individual metallic nanotubes.
