Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing one-dimensional nano-structure-based devices, the method comprising the steps of: (1) preparing a solution containing one-dimensional nano-structures and a liquid solvent; (2) providing a plurality of first electrical conductors, each of the electrical conductors having a first tip; and a second electrical conductor having a second tip; (3) aligning the second electrical conductor with one of the first electrical conductors so that the first tip of the first electrical conductor and the second tip of the second electrical conductor are spaced apart from and opposite to each other; (4) interconnecting the first tip of the first electrical conductor and the second tip of the second electrical conductor with the solution (5) supplying a voltage between the first tip of the first electrical conductor and the second tip of the second electrical conductor so that an electrical field is established between the first tip and the second tip, and the one-dimensional nano-structures in the solution are stretched by the electrical field and extend toward first tip and the second tip thereby at least one one-dimensional nano-structure is in contact with and located between the first tip and the second tip; (9) inspecting whether the one-dimensional nano-structure in the liquid solvent is interconnected between the first tip and the second tip, wherein step (9) comprises connecting a resistor in series with the electrical conductors, and connecting an oscillograph in parallel with the resistance for displaying an electric current flowing through the resistor to indicate whether the one-dimensional nano-structure is interconnected between the first tip and the second tip; (6) removing the liquid solvent of the solution; (7) applying an electric current to the at least one one-dimensional nano-structure to cut the at least one one-dimensional nano-structure, thereby obtaining the first electrical conductor having the first tip with the one-dimensional nano-structures connecting therewith; and (8) repeating the steps (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) thereby obtaining the plurality of first electrical conductors each having tips with the one-dimensional nano-structures connecting therewith.
