摘要
We demonstrate three-dimensional directed assembly of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) into porous alumina nanotemplates on silicon substrates by means of electrophoresis and dielectrophoresis at ambient temperatures. Assembled SWNT provided an interconnection between the surface and base of the nanotemplate. I-V measurements clearly show that the connection between silicon and SWNT is established inside the templates. This technique is particularly useful for large scale, rapid, 3D assembly of SWNT over centimeter square areas under mild conditions for nanoscale electronics applications.
