Dispersed aligned single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) array has been formed between electrodes by electric field assisted alignment of surface decorated SWCNTs. The surface decoration of SWCNTs with functional molecules allows them to dispersedly bridge metal electrodes and effectively obviates the entanglement between SWCNTs. The influences of solution volatility and electric-field type on the alignment are investigated. It is indicated that the well-oriented SWCNT array can be achieved by using the high-volatility solvent and the high-frequency AC electric field to align SWCNTs.

This paper presents new techniques for depositing single multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on metal electrodes based on micro-fabrication and an electric-field-guided assembly technique. It was demonstrated that a single MWCNT can be directionally deposited across a microscale gap guided by a biased AC electric field. The biased AC method could effectively avoid the deposition of undesirable particles, and yet maintained highly ordered deposition results. A specific AC frequency component was applied to attract only desired CNTs into a gap and a DC component was used to diminish electric field significantly when the first CNT is deposited. This method can be easily combined with other micromachining process and possibly applied to batch production.
