Problems solved by technology

Such sensors use a single carbon nanotube to conduct electricity, have poor reliability and weak current, and cannot be extended to large-scale integrated manufacturing and use.
The Chinese patent application No. 200680048146.7 proposes a carbon nanotube interdigital sensor, which realizes the connection between the two ends of multiple horizontal carbon nanotubes and the metal interdigital electrode, and in situ on the basis of the connection between the metal catalyst itself and the carbon nanotube To make electrodes, but this method utilizes the unreliable contact between the grown carbon nanotubes and the electrodes, poor compatibility with IC integrated circuits, and the horizontal arrangement of carbon tubes is not conducive to the improvement of devices and large-scale integration
