Abstract

A method for making electrical interconnections of carbon nanotubes, including a) depositing an ionic liquid including nanoparticles of at least one suspended electrically conducting material, covering at least one surface of an element configured to be used as a support for carbon nanotubes, b) forming a deposit of the nanoparticles at least against the surface of the element, c) removing the remaining ionic liquid, d) growing carbon nanotubes from the deposited nanoparticles, and further including between the c) removing the remaining ionic liquid and the d) growing carbon nanotubes, passivating the deposited nanoparticles not found against the surface of the element.
