Growing Nanotubes on Silicon a Base for Nanoelectronics

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 2, 2006 — Engineers have developed a technique to grow individual carbon nanotubes vertically on top of a silicon wafer, a step toward using nanotubes to make advanced electronics, wireless devices and sensors by stacking circuits and components in layers. The technique might help develop a method for creating "vertically oriented" nanoelectronic devices, the electronic equivalent of a skyscraper, said Timothy S. Fisher, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University who is leading the work with Timothy D. Sands, the Basil S. Turner Professor of Engineering. "Verticality...Read full article
