1. An apparatus, comprising:
a substrate including an insulating surface;
a first individually electrically addressable electrically conductive interconnect directly connected to the insulating surface
of the substrate;
a first vertically aligned carbon nanofiber grown from the first individually electrically addressable electrically conductive
interconnect;
a second individually electrically addressable electrically conductive interconnect directly connected to the insulating surface
of the substrate; and
a second vertically aligned carbon nanofiber grown from the second individually electrically addressable electrically conductive
interconnect,
wherein the first vertically aligned carbon nanofiber is individually electrically addressable via the first individually
electrically addressable electrically conductive interconnect and the second vertically aligned carbon nanofiber is individually
electrically addressable via the second individually electrically addressable electrically conductive interconnect.
