Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are used as a mask for the Ar+ ion etching in the fabrication of metal nanowires, is demonstrated. Au/Ti nanowires of a few nanometers in width are obtained by a simple procedure of CNT deposition on a metal layer followed by Ar+ ion milling. The CNTs acted as a good mask against Ar+ ion bombardment, and the Au/Ti nanowires duplicated the lateral shape of the CNTs. The remaining CNTs after the ion milling are removed from the resulting nanowires by atomic force microscopy (AFM) manipulation.
