Self-assembled single wall carbon nanotube field effect transistors and AFM tips prepared by hot filament assisted CVD

Abstract

The ability of the HFCVD to synthesize SWNTs using cobalt as catalyst has been applied to the preparation of self-assembled single wall carbon nanotube field effect transistor and tips for AFM imaging. This self-assembling batch process fabrication technique has allowed us to fabricate carbon nanotube-based devices that are directly usable without any post-treatment.
