    摘要: A method for forming an interconnect on a semiconductor substrate comprises providing at least one carbon nanotube within a trench, etching at least one portion of the carbon nanotube to create an opening, conformally depositing a metal layer on the carbon nanotube through the opening, and forming a metallized contact at the opening that is substantially coupled to the carbon nanotube. The metal layer may be conformally deposited on the carbon nanotube using an atomic layer deposition process or an electroless plating process. Multiple metal layers may be deposited to substantially fill voids within the carbon nanotube. The electroless plating process may use a supercritical liquid as the medium for the plating solution. The wetting behavior of the carbon nanotube may be modified prior to the electroless plating process to increase the hydrophilicity of the carbon nanotube.

    摘要: A metal oxide sensor is provided on a semiconductor substrate to provide on-chip sensing of gases. The sensor may include a metal layer that may have pores formed by lithography to be of a certain width. The top metal layer may be oxidized resulting in a narrowing of the pores. Another metal layer may be formed over the oxidized layer and electrical contacts may be formed on the metal layer. The contacts may be coupled to a monitoring system that receives electrical signals indicative of gases sensed by the metal oxide sensor.
