Resumo

An improved process is developed for simple and efficient fabrication of carbon nanotube probe devices. This process requires only two steps to make nanotube probes. First a nanotube cartridge is created using chemical vapor deposition, then the nanotubes are transferred from the cartridge to a device using an electric field. Multiwall nanotube probes are made into different device geometries in this approach. Their applications are illustrated by atomic force microscopy imaging of the surface of a terrestrial rock granule selected to simulate the morphology and consistency of a grain of Mars dust and nanolithography on a silicon substrate.
