Selective nanotube growth inside vias using an ion beam

A method of selectively growing one or more carbon nano-tubes includes forming an insulating layer on a substrate, the insulating layer having a top surface; forming a via in the insulating layer; forming an active metal layer over the insulating layer, including sidewall and bottom surfaces of the...

Zusammenfassung:A method of selectively growing one or more carbon nano-tubes includes forming an insulating layer on a substrate, the insulating layer having a top surface; forming a via in the insulating layer; forming an active metal layer over the insulating layer, including sidewall and bottom surfaces of the via; and removing the active metal layer at portions of the top surface with an ion beam to enable the selective growth of one or more carbon nano-tubes inside the via.
