In this contribution, we introduce a systematic inspection tool for carbon nanotube dispersion preparation based UV-Vis-NIR-spectroscopy. Goal is the wafer-level integration of the CNTs by an electrokinetic deposition approach from an aqueous dispersion [1]. In order to estimate the dispersion quality during the preparation process, a microfluidic system with a quartz flow cell is built up. Related to the non-resonant and resonant features in the UV-Vis-NIR-spectra, the CNT concentration and degree of debundeling can be monitored and sonication paramters can be optimized [2]. It turns out that the degree of debundling is a function of both the absolute concentration of the CNTs and the relative concentration between the CNTs and the dispersion agents (sodiumlauryl sulfate, sodium deoxycholate, etc.)
