NEC Realizes Control of Position & Diameter of Carbon Nanotube

Technology that contributes to electronic devices utilizing carbon nanotubes

NEC Corporation today announced the development of a diameter/position-controlled carbon nanotube ("CNT") growth technique that is based on conventional electron beam ("EB") lithography. This technique will provide a practical method for controlling the position and diameter of each CNT. NEC expects this result will promote the research and development of high-performance CNT electronic devices.
