Abstract
A new method of electrophoretic nanotube deposition is proposed wherein individual nanotubes are placed on metal electrodes which have their length significantly exceeding their width, while the nanotube length is chosen to be close to that of the metal electrode. Due to electrostatic attraction of individual nanotube to the elongated electrode, every nanotube approaching the electrode is deposited along the electrode, since such an orientation is energetically favorable. This method offers opportunity to produce oriented arrays of individual nanotubes, which opens up a new technique for fabrication and mass production of nanotube-based devices and circuits. Several such devices are considered. These are MESFET- and MOSFET-like transistors and CMOS-like voltage inverter.
