Using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) produced by chemical vapor deposition, we have explored different strategies for the preparation of carbon nanotube devices suited for electrical and mechanical measurements. Though the target device is a single small diameter CNT, there is compelling evidence for bundling, both for CNTs grown over structured slits and on rigid supports. Whereas the bundling is substantial in the former case, individual single-wall CNTs (SWNTs) can be found in the latter. Our evidence stems from mechanical and electrical measurements on contacted tubes. Furthermore, we report on the fabrication of low-ohmic contacts to SWNTs. We compare Au, Ti and Pd contacts and find that Pd yields the best results.
