The "healing" of nano-to-micro electrical contact between a single carbon nanotube (CNT) and silicon micro structure has been demonstrated using the technique of electrical breakdown. Experimental results show that the resistance of an in-situ synthesized CNT was "healed" from an original value of infinite to 7 MOmega. The experimental breakdown voltage is 10 V and the electrical...
This work presents in-situ controlled growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by local synthesis using silicon MEMS structures. The site-specific local synthesis and assembly of CNTs took 20 ~ 60 seconds experimentally to connect across a 5 ~ 10 mum gap to accomplish integrated CNTs. Using this method, we can now control the number of CNT connections between the silicon structures. The electrical properties...
This paper reports a 10-nm in diameter nanoprobe electrode made of carbon nanotube (CNT) for possible electrophysiological measurements for biomedical applications. The nanoprobe is based on an individual carbon nanotube fabricated by a controlled local growth process and subsequently encapsulated with an insulating layer of Parylene-C. It is integrated with a silicon microstructure with a total length...
This work presents the synthesis, assembly and integration of a single, suspended multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) as a Pirani gauge using localized synthesis. By monitoring electrical connection of the CNT, the controlled growth process allows the synthesis of a single CNT within 20 seconds. I-V curves of the CNT show reduced CNT resistance in a vacuum pressure environment compared with the CNT...
