Abstract

Novel vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) were successfully grown on Mg0.3Zn0.7O thin film template. Current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of both VACNTs and VACNTs/Mg0.3Zn0.7O were measured where it first demonstrates that highly conductive VACNTs with more than 1 ×105 S cm-1 were achieved using Mg0.3Zn0.7O thin film template, though both samples showing only a small difference in the micro-Raman spectroscopy. This suggested that the used of Mg0.3Zn0.7O thin film template is capable of promoting the growth of VACNTs to have a smaller diameter and blocked the electrons' penetration into silicon that leads to highly conductive sample.
