The growth of SWNT tips involves dip coating of silicon pyramids with a liquid phase catalyst followed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using methane. Van der Waals interactions between the silicon pyramidal surface and the nanotube ensure proper SWNT orientation. Production of large scale arrays of nanotube probe tips using contact printing and controllably shortening nanotubes in an inert discharge are also described.Other References
