However, the intrinsic chirality polydispersity of synthetic SWCNTs leads to significant bandgap non-uniformity, which fundamentally limits the off-state performance and integration density of carbon nanotube thin-film transistors (CNT-TFTs). Here, we systematically investigate the influence of statistical bandgap distributions on the transport characteristics and leakage mechanisms of CNT-TFTs using three representative semiconducting SWCNT systems: single-chirality-enriched wide-bandgap (6,5) SWCNTs, mixed-chirality high-pressure carbon monoxide (HiPco) SWCNTs with an intermediate average bandgap, and mixed-chirality arc-discharge SWCNTs with a smaller average bandgap. We show that narrow-bandgap SWCNT networks exhibit higher on-state currents due to reduced Schottky barriers but suffer from pronounced band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) under high electric fields, resulting in degraded on/off ratios and subthreshold stability. In contrast, devices based on single-chirality-enriched (6,5) SWCNTs effectively suppress BTBT, maintaining ultra-low off-state currents (I<sub>off</sub> < 10<sup>−11</sup> A) and high on/off ratios (>10<sup>6</sup>) even at high drain bias.
