The method of manufacturing an electric part including a matrix-shaped
nonconductive base member, and a carbon nanotube group that is sealed
within the nonconductive base member and includes at least one of a
carbon nanotube and a plurality carbon nanotubes that are electrically
connected to each other. According to the method, substantially only an
end portion of the carbon nanotube or at least carbon nanotube contained
in the plurality of carbon nanotubes may be exposed from one surface of
the nonconductive base member, and an electrode may be connected to a
side surface of at least one carbon nanotube included in the carbon
nanotube group.
