Method for manufacturing a one-dimensional nano-structure-based device

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a one-dimensional nano-structure-based device comprises the steps of: preparing a solution (14) containing one-dimensional nano-structures (18); providing a pair of electrical conductors (10, 12) each having a tip (101, 121), the tips thereof being spaced apart from and opposite to each other; applying the solution to the tips of the electrical conductors thereby the tips being interconnected by the solution; applying a voltage (16) between the two conductors thereby at least one one-dimensional nano-structure being interconnected between the tips of the electrical conductors; and applying an external energy to at least one of the conductors and the one-dimensional nano-structure so as to disconnect the conductors from each other thereby obtaining at least one conductor having the tip with the one-dimensional nano-structure connected therewith.
