Abstract
The aim of this work is to develop a new method with the potential to revolutionise the process of assembling electronic components into circuits. We aim to produce a step change in the size of the smallest components that can be handled from the current smallest standard component size of 400×200 microns (0402 metric) down to components a few microns across and even nanostructured components (based upon graphene, nanowires or nanotubes, for example). This will be accomplished by developing a radically new assembly strategy based on a touch-less manipulation technique known as optoelectronic tweezers (OET). We have demonstrated the use of OET to manipulate conductive silver nanowires into different patterns. A proof-ofconcept demonstration was also made to quantify the feasibility of using OET to manipulate silver nanowires to form a conductive metal path between two electrodes.
