Artificial-intelligence-assisted mass fabrication of nanocantilevers from randomly positioned single carbon nanotubes.

ABSTRACT: Nanoscale cantilevers (nanocantilevers) made from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) provide tremendous benefits in sensing and electromagnetic applications. This nanoscale structure is generally fabricated using chemical vapor deposition and/or dielectrophoresis, which contain manual, time-consuming processes such as the placing of additional electrodes and careful observation of single-grown CNTs. Here, we demonstrate a simple and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted method for the efficient fabrication of a massive CNT-based nanocantilever. We used randomly positioned single CNTs on the substrate. The trained deep neural network recognizes the CNTs, measures their positions, and determines the edge of the CNT on which an electrode should be clamped to form a nanocantilever.
