In a process for fabricating a nanopore device, at least one carbon nanotube catalyst region is formed on a structure. A plurality of nanopores is formed in the structure at a distance from the catalyst region that is no greater than about an expected length for a carbon nanotube synthesized from the catalyst region. Then at least one carbon nanotube is synthesized from the catalyst region. This fabrication sequence enables the in situ synthesis of carbon nanotubes at the site of nanopores, whereby one or more nanotubes articulate one or more nanopores without requiring manual positioning of the nanotubes.
