摘要: Directional controllability of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is an important issue for future nanoelectronics applications. For direct integration with modern electronics, aligned growth on SiO2/Si desirable. We developed a new method to horizontally align SWNTs directly substrate by creating trenches Si(100) through anisotropic etching followed thermal oxidation. The V-shaped highly improved the alignment and degree comparable step-templated crystals. also density due combination “trench-guided” gas-flow guided alignment. Our insights nanotube will greatly contribute large-scale nanoelectronic
