This work presents the design and simulation of DEP electrodes with an interdigitated electrode (IDE) pattern for the alignment of 1D nanostructures using COMSOL simulations.The impact of electric field distribution with varying electrode geometry, voltage, and frequency were studied using these simulations.The maximum electric field value of 2.6 10 6 V/m was observed at electrode edges and gaps.Moreover, a significant increase in the electric field was observed with a decrease in finger width.These simulation results for DEP electrodes have huge potential in advancing 1D nanowire-based flexible and wearable electronic devices in the future.
