ELECTRIC COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric component which is produced by a production step of excellent industrial productivity by using a carbon nano-tube, and a method for manufacturing the same. SOLUTION: The electric component comprises: matrix-shaped non-conductive base materials 12 and 16; a carbon nano-tube group 10 which is enclosed therein and includes one carbon nano-tube or a plurality of carbon nano-tubes electrically connected to each other while only a substantial end part of at least one carbon nano-tube 10a included in the carbon nano-tube or the plurality of carbon nano-tubes is protruded from one surface of the non-conductive base materials 12 and 16; and an electrode 14 connected to a side surface of at least one carbon nano-tube 10d included in the carbon nano-tube group 10. There is also provided a method for manufacturing the component. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
