AB  - Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT or CNT) have unique and well-known 
      high-performance material properties that can enable revolutionary increases in 
      the performance of electronic devices and architectures. However, fabrication of 
      large-scale SWNT-based ICs is an enormously challenging, unsolved problem, and 
      self-assembly is likely needed for critical steps. Over the past several years, 
      methods have been introduced to created ordered carbon nanotube structures using 
      DNA guided self-assembly. In this chapter, we briefly review the challenges 
      involved in using DNA to assemble SWNT nanostructures, and then give detailed 
      methods to assemble dense, aligned SWNT arrays. In particular, we discuss the 
      preparation of DNA wrapped single-walled nanotubes (DNA-CNTs) using commercial 
      carbon nanotube products that are suitable for electronics applications. Then, we 
      discuss methods to characterize DNA-CNTs using fluid mode atomic force microscopy 
      (AFM). Finally, we give detailed procedures for assembly of DNA-CNTs into dense 
      parallel arrays via linker induced surface assembly (LISA).
