Patterns can promote the locally enhanced binding of a semiconducting single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) in a preferential alignment on the Si(100) platform. The figure shows a three‐dimensional rendering of a 30 nm×30 nm image of a SWNT traversing a 4‐nm‐wide stripe of atomically clean silicon lithographically patterned on the Si(100)‐2×1:H surface using an ultrahigh‐vacuum scanning tunneling microscope.
