Fluidic aligned submicrometer patterns of acid‐treated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) were transfer printed onto nonflat patterned Au electrodes modified with a self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) of 11‐amino‐1‐undecanethiol. The CNT bundles can be transferred in a few seconds at ambient temperature onto the electrodes. The horizontally aligned CNT bundles can be placed in any orientation with respect to the Au electrodes (see figure), and CNT field‐effect transistors can be fabricated.
