We have measured the potential distribution on carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistors (FETs) using electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KFM). Clearer potential profiles were obtained by EFM than by KFM. When the CNT-FET is in the ON state, the EFM image shows uniform potential distribution along the CNT. In contrast, when the CNT-FET is in the OFF state, nonuniform potential image with dark spots are obtained. The dark spots can be attributed to the defects in the CNTs.
