Fabrication of single-walled carbon-nanotube with metallic electrodes

Aligned array of single-walled carbon nanotubes on a substrate is synthesized by chemical vapour deposition of methane. The combined synthesis and FIB technique presented here demonstrated the nanotube devices with metallic electrodes. Sample characterization was carried out with SEM pictures and I-V curves, which show that the nanotube with metallic electrodes may be widely used in both basic research and applications.
