Large-scale room-temperature liquid-phase directed assembly of highly organized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) over large areas is demonstrated. The presented process utilizes lithographically patterned template to guide the fluidic self-assembly of SWNTs on a silicon-dioxide substrate. The width of these highly organized SWNT structures are in the micron range while their heights are in orders of nanometers. Room temperature electrical I-V characterization of these fabricated high coverage SWNT wires show linear ohmic behavior. The resistivity of these assembled SWNT network is in the order of 10-6 Ω∈m demonstrating their metallic characteristics during conductance. Scaling of the assembly processes on a wafer level with high yield is demonstrated. Our developed assembly process is compatible with complimentary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes and provides a simple and flexible way of building SWNT nanotube-based electronics in a large scale. © 2009 Springer-Verlag.
