Abstract: This review examines the development of modern semiconductor technologies using various carbon nanomaterials, as an element base, to replace classical semiconductors (silicon, germanium, etc.). Examples of specific electronic devices demonstrate the gradual displacement of classical semiconductors by carbon compounds, which are much more promising, with the potential to create all-carbon electronics.

Keywords: carbon electronics, semiconductor technology, carbon nanostructures, fullerenes, nanotubes, graphene.
