Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is useful equipment that can analyze the surface of a sample from microscale to nanoscale. Fabricated functional AFM probe is available for various applications. Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have similar tubular nanostructure as carbon nanotube (CNT) in which boron and nitrogen atoms arranged in a hexagonal network. BNNTs has properties that can replace CNT. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires have single crystalline and exhibit a hexagonal wurtzite structure. ZnO is also applied as biosensing and photocatalyst. In this study, we coated seed on AFM probe via reversed dip-pen nanolithography (DPN). Through the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, we grew BNNTs at the end of the AFM probe where the catalyst was coated. Coating ZnO seeds to AFM probe and growing ZnO nanowires via annealing. All analyses were performed using atomic force microscopy, muffle furnace for chemical vapor deposition, scanning electron microscope (SEM). |
