Iron Nanoparticles Derived from Iron-Complexed Polymethylglutarimide To Produce High-Quality Lithographically Defined Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract: A polymer, PMGI, serves as a template to generate uniformly distributed iron nanoparticles with controlled size. These nanoparticles have proven to be excellent catalysts for generating carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The catalyst locations can be defined by a single photolithography step for spatially selective growth of CNTs.

“…While investigating a novel method to generate high-density and uniformly distributed carbon nanotube (CNT) mats, Lu et al [ 24 ] employed spin-coating to prepare a film of PMGI loaded with various iron precursors (Fe 3+ chloride, nitrate or acac, and the organometallic complex ferrocene) for the templated formation of IONPs, subsequently exploited as catalysts for CNT growth. Following the trend of using polymeric templates with specific characteristics, PMGI, a polymer widely used in the bilayer lift-off process, was expected to form complexes with Fe 3+ ions by multidentate coordination.…”

“…12 In the field of SWNT devices, PMGI has been shown to have excellent properties as a carrier material for iron catalyst particles for SWNT growth. 13 To our knowledge, however, there have been no reports of its use in an improved photolithographic process for fabricating contacts to high quality SWNT devices. After contact patterning by photolithography based on a PMGI-Shipley 1813 bilayer, we see no evidence of an undesirable scum layer.…”

“…The reported synthetic methods for the preparation of magnetic silica core-shell nanoparticles include layer-by-layer assembly [17], sonochemical deposition [20], electrostatic adsorption [21], ferrite plating [22], aerosol assisted synthesis [23], hydrothermal chemical-vapour deposition [24], sol-gel [25], phase transfer [26], micro-contact printing [27], spin coating [28], micro-emulsion route [29], and bio-polymer template method [30]. There are a number of disadvantages associated with the existing synthetic methods.…”
