(SWNTs) using exclusively standard i-line (365 nm) photolithography. Catalyst islands were
patterned with an SU-8-photoresist-based process. This method provides well-defined
islands, down to 1 µm in size. The islands are clearly visible with an optical microscope and
are used as alignment marks for optical alignment of subsequent layers. SWNTs were grown
by chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Contacts to the nanotubes were fabricated by …
