Objectives

• CARBonCHIP will address the potential of the integrated CNT technology through an interdisciplinary approach based on research and development in (i) CNT catalysis, (ii) CNT growth, (iii) on-chip CNT technology, (iv) related analysis methodology for control of CNT properties and (v) CNT devices for nanoelectronics.
• There are three industrial participants in CARBonCHIP to address the challenge of mastering the CNT technology and to lead the technology towards an industrial scale.
• It is the vision of the CARBonCHIP project to integrate the knowledge of materials science and nanomanufacturing as a key enabler for future CNT-based nanoelectronics.
• CARbonCHIP will address the materials properties, the related fabrication process and analysis methodology as well as the functional validation. These aspects are the explicit objectives of the workpackages.
• The real innovation in nanotechnology based on CNT’s in the long term is the interdisciplinary research approach to enable integration of CNT technology with Si technology as proposed by CARBonCHIP.
