    This paper presents the design‚ fabrication and thermal imaging of three microheaters (Fig. 1) and the growth and characterization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) (Fig. 5) on these microstructures. SWNTs have many superior properties suitable for beyond-CMOS technology scaling and high-sensitivity chemical and biological sensors. For material synthesis‚ chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a widely used method that produces high-quality SWNTs [1][2][3]. However‚ the high CVD growth temperature
