Patterned films of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated by the "wet" deposition of MWCNT dispersion on a patterned substrate. Films in the form of stripes or lattices of micrometer dimensions and variable thickness were obtained. The films were uniform and adhered strongly to the substrates. Field-emission property of the MWCNT film was investigated. The method can be used at room temperature for the assembly and integration of MWCNTs in the fabrication of nanodevices, including field-emission displays. (c) 2007 American Vacuum Society.
