Carbon nanotubes exhibit a number of excellent mechanical and electronic properties as functional materials in sensors. In particular single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) are known for their band gap modulation due to mechanical strain, or electronic property-changes due to interaction with surrounding molecules, but also for their ultra-low power consumption. We present results on individual SWNTs as functional material in field effect transistors, mechanical and chemical sensors. We discuss the influence of process variations on the properties of SWNT devices, and options for sensor fabrication.
Bio: Christofer Hierold has been a Professor of Micro and Nanosystems, Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering, at ETH Zurich since April 2002.
His research is focused on the evaluation of new materials for MEMS, on advanced microsystems, and on nanotransducers. Christofer Hierold is founding chairman of one of ETH Zurich’s inter-departmental competence centers, the Micro and Nano Science Platform and he coordinates the management team of ETH Zurich’s cleanroom facility, the FIRST lab. In addition, he is a member of the international steering committees of major conferences in the field (MEMS, TRANSDUCERS, EUROSENSORS), he is a member of the editorial boards of IEEE/ASME Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems and of IoP Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, and he is joint editor of the book series Advanced Micro and Nanosystems (Wiley-VCH).
