Abstract
Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a rapidly maturing emerging technology for next‐generation energy‐efficient digital Very‐Large‐Scale‐Integrated (VLSI) systems. However, a major remaining challenge facing CNT field‐effect transistors (CNFETs) are metallic CNTs, causing incorrect logic functionality and increased leakage power. As no CNT synthesis technique demonstrates a reliable path toward manufacturing 99.99% semiconducting CNTs (s‐CNT; required purity for VLSI systems), significant work focuses on solution‐based sorting of CNTs (selectively removing metallic CNTs post‐synthesis). Yet, there lacks both well‐controlled comparisons carefully optimizing key processing parameters simultaneously (CNT synthesis sources, polymer additive used for selective sorting, etc.), as well as statistically significant electrical transistor characterization sample sizes to form concrete conclusions. Here, >90 000 CNFETs (totaling >90 million CNTs) are fabricated and characterized to demonstrate the following key advances: 1) systematic exploration of the impact of different combinations of CNT synthesis sources and polymer additives on the electrical performance of transistors (analyzing on‐current, off‐current, on off ratio, and threshold voltage) to find the best combination, 2) how the optimization and choice of the CNT source can be decoupled from that of the polymer, and 3) an optimal CNT solution that achieves >99.99% s‐CNT purity using electrical measurements, meeting the requirement for VLSI systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
