<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbon nanotube connected body, which can be suitably used as a target detecting element, a sensor, etc., and in which carbon nanotubes are aligned, and further to provide efficient manufacturing method therefor. <P>SOLUTION: The carbon nanotube connected body is configured such that a plurality of carbon nanotubes are arrayed so as to connect one end of each carbon nanotube to a base material to be almost perpendicular to the base material. The method for manufacturing the carbon nanotube connected body includes a step of forming a nanohole structure body by forming a concave line on a metallic layer and by forming the nanohole structure body having a nanohole line having the nanoholes arranged on the concave line in the direction almost perpendicular to the metallic layer, a step of forming carbon nanotubes inside the nanoholes, a step of removing the carbon stuck on the surface of convex portions between the concave lines in the step of forming carbon nanotubes, and a step of melting the metallic layer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
