Transfer-printing of as-fabricated carbon nanotube devices onto various substrates

Adv Mater. 2012 Aug 28;24(33):4499-504. doi: 10.1002/adma.201201794. Epub 2012 Jun 28.

Abstract

Exact replicas of carbon nanotube devices as fabricated on SiO(2) /Si substrates are prepared on various non-conventional substrates such as nonplanar or soft substrates by a simple, yet versatile, transfer-printing "cut-and-paste" method. In this way, harsh growth and fabrication processes can be minimized on the target substrates. The electrical characteristics of transfer-printed devices are compared to those of original devices.
