Abstract

Carbon nanotube(CNT)s have been considered as one of the most unique materials due to the their superior mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. Therefore, numerous studies have been performed for the utilization of CNTs. This review article focuses on the recent research trends on the utilization of CNTs for new interconnect materials in electronics packaging. Major contents mentioned are the direct interconnection technology using CNTs and the main properties of polymer/CNTs composite materials. This article is aimed at the reviewing of important results from the recent studies and providing the straightforward understanding of the results through the mutual analysis and a industrial viewpoint.
