Abstract

A method of printing an electronic device includes providing a source of a mixture of semiconducting carbon nanotubes and metallic carbon nanotubes in a carrier liquid, a printhead, and a substrate. The mixture of semiconducting carbon nanotubes and metallic carbon nanotubes in the carrier liquid is separated using the printhead. One of the separated semiconducting carbon nanotubes and the separated metallic carbon nanotubes is caused to contact the substrate in predetermined pattern.

Claims (9)

1. A method of printing an electronic device comprising:

providing a source of a mixture of semiconducting carbon nanotubes and metallic carbon nanotubes in a carrier liquid;

providing a printhead;

providing a substrate;

separating the mixture of semiconducting carbon nanotubes and metallic carbon nanotubes in the carrier liquid using the printhead; and

causing one of the separated semiconducting carbon nanotubes and the separated metallic carbon nanotubes to contact the substrate in predetermined pattern.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the printhead is a continuous inkjet type printhead.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein one of the semiconducting carbon nanotubes and metallic carbon nanotubes is functionalized to carry a charge.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein separating the mixture of semiconducting carbon nanotubes and metallic carbon nanotubes in the carrier liquid using the printhead includes using an electrostatic force to concentrate the functionalized carbon nanotubes.
