Disclosed herein are an apparatus for and a method of bonding a nano-tip
using electrochemical etching, in which a good bonding stability can be
provided. The nano-tip bonding apparatus comprises a glass plate having a
top surface of a certain desired area. An electrolytic solution having
conductivity is placed on the top surface of the glass plate by means of
surface tension. Means for moving reciprocally a base material having
conductivity in opposite direction is provided. A carbon nano-tube is
adhered to a pointed tip of the base material by means of an adhesive. An
end portion of the carbon nano-tube is to be immersed in the electrolytic
solution. A power supply is provided for applying an electric power to
the electrolytic solution and the base material.
