title = "Assembly of carbon nanotube devices by tip-induced optical trapping",
abstract = "Fabrication of nanoscale devices by assembling individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) remains challenging despite enormous effort made in this field. Fulfilling the promise of CNTs requires more efficient assembly techniques. In this study, we have developed an in-situ assembly method for precise and cost-effective integration of CNTs using a laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) process. Results show that CNTs can be trapped between sharp tip-shaped electrodes due to the optical gradient forces around the tip apexes generated by a CO 2 laser irradiation. This method enables the precise assembly of CNT-based field-effect transistors (FETs) and paves the way for the successful implementation of the CNT-based nanoelectronics.",
