Abstract
With the ubiquitous demand for speed and performance in the electronics industry, integrated circuit manufacturers have pushed the limits of traditional fabrication methods. In the quest to develop viable alternatives, researchers are exploring the use of carbon nanotubes for device applications. To fabricate device structures it is imperative to develop a controllable placement methodology. This poster presentation expands on a patterning technique developed by Rao et. al. at Florida State University. Guided assembly of commercially available SWNTs is accomplished using e-beam lithography, and surface functionalization. Further development of this technique is one of the projects currently being pursued by the Nano-Device Fabrication Lab research group.
