Growth of well-aligned carbon nanotube arrays on silicon substrates using porous alumina film as a nanotemplate

چکیده
Aligned, open-tipped carbon nanotube arrays of high density and uniformity were synthesized via a flame method on silicon substrates using a nanoporous template of anodized aluminum oxide from which the nanotubes were grown. The diameter and length of the nanotubes are controlled by the geometry of the aluminum oxide template. These results show the feasibility of integration between carbon nanotube arrays and silicon microelectronics. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1415406#

Growth of millimeter-long and horizontally aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes on flat substrates.
Millimeter-long and well-aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been produced on silica/silicon surfaces using the carbon monoxide chemical vapor deposition (CO-CVD) method. The orientation of the nanotube arrays can be well-controlled by the gas flow during the growth. The majority of the orientated SWNTs are straight and individual. The length of the nanotubes can be >2 mm for a ...
متن کاملLarge scale 3D vertical assembly of single-wall carbon nanotubes at ambient temperatures.
We demonstrate three-dimensional directed assembly of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) into porous alumina nanotemplates on silicon substrates by means of electrophoresis and dielectrophoresis at ambient temperatures. Assembled SWNT provided an interconnection between the surface and base of the nanotemplate. I-V measurements clearly show that the connection between silicon and SWNT is estab...
متن کاملFunctionalized Carbon Nanotubes Produced by APCVD using Camphor
A simple chemical vapor deposition technique at atmospheric pressure (APCVD) is adopted to synthesize the aligned arrays of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (AMWCNTs) without using any carrier gas, at 230◦C, 750◦C and 850 ◦C. Camphor (C10H16O) is used as carbon source because this botanical hydrocarbon is chip and abundant which convert the CVD technique to a green method for produc...
متن کاملNovel nanotube-on-insulator (NOI) approach toward single-walled carbon nanotube devices.
We present a novel nanotube-on-insulator (NOI) approach for producing high-yield nanotube devices based on aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes. First, we managed to grow aligned nanotube arrays with controlled density on crystalline, insulating sapphire substrates, which bear analogy to industry-adopted silicon-on-insulator substrates. On the basis of the nanotube arrays, we demonstrated reg...
متن کاملFabrication and characterization of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes on silicon substrates using porous alumina nanotemplates.
An ethylene-air laminar diffusion flame successfully provided silicon substrates of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template with vertically oriented well-aligned carbon nanotubes. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that open-tipped carbon nanotubes consisting of tube elements with the same length and diameter uniformly coated the template. High-resolution transmission electro...
