CARBON NANOTUBE CONTACT STRUCTURES FOR USE WITH SEMICONDUCTOR DIES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES

摘要

A method of making carbon nanotube contact structures on an electronic device includes growing a plurality of carbon nanotube columns on a mandrel. Electrically-conductive adhesive is applied to ends of the columns distal from the mandrel, and the columns are transferred to the electronic device. An electrically-conductive material is deposited onto some or all of the columns. The mandrel can be reused to grow a second plurality of carbon nanotube columns.
