Abstract

Scratching the surface: A simple needle-scratching method (NSM) generates large-area catalyst patterns on solid substrates for the growth of densely aligned single-walled carbon-nanotube (SWCNT) arrays by chemical vapor deposition (CVD, see picture). A high density of well-aligned, ultralong SWCNTs is obtained on single-crystal quartz. This NSM could allow the fast, cheap, and large-area fabrication of CNT-based nanodevices.

38. Figure S2A (Supporting Information) only shows one needle used in our NSM. Currently we can use the micromanipulator with multiple needle arrays which dramatically increases the throughput of the NSM (Figure S2B) just like multipen DPN[19]and polymer‐pen lithography.[20]
