Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely studied for their unique size-dependent electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties. However, CNTs need to be precisely positioned in complex device structures. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is an effective and practical method for precise assembly of CNTs. In this paper, the researches on simulation of precise positioning of CNTs by DEP are reviewed. Single electrode pairs include those with round, triangle, and rectangular tip shapes and electrode arrays such as comb electrodes are also taken accounted. The moving trajectories of CNTs during DEP from the selected literature are introduced. The effect of floating electrodes on precise manipulation of CNTs is examined as well.
