It has been proposed that nanotube-based transistors can operate at frequencies in the terahertz region as generators, frequency multipliers and detectors [84] though carbon nanotube transistors are good candidates for RF and opto electronics [85], fabrication of nanotube arrays with controllable chirality and diameters is stiU a challenge for large scale fabrication of the devices.

For example, Collins et al. (2001) proposed a method based on the selective destruction of metallic nanotubes, which could be realized with bursts of electricity. The ropes containing both semiconducting and metallic tubes are deposited on a flat surface of silicon oxide. Then electrodes on the top of the ropes are fabricated by lithography technique. A voltage is applied to the tubes through the electrodes. The metallic CNTs are destroyed by current-induced oxidation, and only the semiconducting tubes remain (carbon nanotubes transistors, http //www.research.ibm.com). However, this technique is only useful for transistor geometries and cannot be extended to bulk separation.
