Abstract

We present a method to realize nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) resonator structures from carbon nanotubes (CNT)/metal layered composite structures. The method utilizes a self aligning process over a near 2-D CNT network on GaAs to realize resonator structures and a highly selective etchant, a standard citric acid/hydrogen peroxide solution, to achieve release of NEMS resonators from the substrate. We find this method along with critical point drying (CPD) to yield robust hybrid CNT/metal resonator structures with fundamental resonant frequencies in the 10 MHz range. With high reflectivity, conductivity, and bio-compatibility of metals, this fabrication method along with possible benefits of CNT have many application possibilities.
