Abstract:
|
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have attracted great interest in the last two decades
because of their unique electrical, optical, thermal, mechanical properties, etc. One major
research field of SWCNTs is the controlled growth of them from the patterned catalysts on
substrates, since the integration of SWCNTs into nanoelectronics and other devices requires
well-organized SWCNT arrays. This tutorial review describes the commonly used lithographic
techniques to pattern catalysts used for controlled growth of SWCNTs, specifically confined to
horizontal direction. Advantages and disadvantages of each method will be briefly discussed.
Applications of the SWCNT arrays grown from the catalyst patterns will also be introduced. |
