Popis: Nickel catalyst nanoparticles acting as nucleating seeds for carbon nanotube (CNT) growth were selectively deposited on the sidewalls of titanium nitride (TiN) electrodes by electrochemical deposition (ECD) from a Ni2+ electrolyte solution. Horizontal aligned CNTs were grown selectively from the sidewalls of these TiN electrodes forming a bridging CNT contact between the electrode gaps. Current-voltage measurements demonstrated this could be a promising technique towards nanoscale interconnections and nanoelectronic devices with resistance values for the bridging CNTs as low as 300Ω.
