Abstract :
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) offer great potential for the fabrication of nanosystems or nanodevice due to the unique electronic transport properties of the material. However, the most challenging thing to the realization of practical CNT devices could be the formation of reliable and reproducible CNT to metallic contacts. In this work, by using an atomic force microscope (AFM) based nanomanipulate robot, a reliable method is developed to manipulate CNT and make connections between single CNT and electrodes. It is a valuable way for furthering the study of CNT properties and the development of CNT-based nanosystems
