A method of patterning a carbon nanotube layer includes providing a substrate comprising a carbon nanotube layer. A laser beam is generated. The laser beam is directed onto a first surface of the carbon nanotube layer. Relative movement between the laser beam and the first surface is caused, thereby forming at least one cavity feature on the first surface.

Laser patterning of a carbon nanotube layer

To deposit carbon nanotubes onto a substrate, an at least partially porous film is prepared so that a surface of the film has a layer of carbon nanotubes thereon. The film is positioned in relation to a surface of the substrate such that the surface of the film having the layer of carbon nanotubes is brought into contact with the surface of the substrate. Pressure is applied to the film to attach the film, including the layer of carbon nanotubes, to the surface of the substrate.
