AB  - Nanoelectronic field effect transistors (FETs) are produced using solution 
      processed individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs), synthesized by both arc discharge 
      and laser ablation methods. We show that the performance of solution processed 
      FETs approaches that of CVD-grown FETs if the nanotubes have minimal lattice 
      defects and are free from surface contamination. This is achieved by treating the 
      nanotubes to a high-temperature vacuum annealing process and using 
      1,2-dichloroethane for dispersion. We present CNT FETs with mobilities of up to 
      3546 cm(2)/(V s), transconductance of 4.22 muS, on-state conductance of 9.35 muS 
      and on/off ratios as high as 10(6). High-resolution transmission electron 
      microscopy is used to examine the presence of catalyst particles and amorphous 
      carbon on the surface and Raman spectroscopy is used to examine the lattice 
      defects, both of which lead to reduced device performance.
