A recording of data comprising carbon nanotubes and method of manufacturing inclined

The data recording device comprises a nanotube network (9) of carbon formed on a substrate (10) plane and constituting microtips cooperating with a storage medium (11) substantially planar. Nanotubes (9) atoms are initially inclined at a predetermined angle of between 5 ° and 40 °, with respect to the substrate plane (10). The nanotubes 9 flex when they come in contact with the memory medium (11), parallel to the substrate (10). The substrate (10) has, preferably, a relief structure, intended to serve as support for the free ends of the nanotubes (9).
