Abstract

An aligned carbon nanotube(CNT)array has been prepared on large area Ni-deposited silicon substrates via the pyrolysis of C2H2 using thermal chemical vapor deposition technique at 900°C. Ni nanoparticles were formed when Ni catalyst film was etched and conglomerated by NH3 pretreatment. Under the experimental conditions used, scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed the CNTs films with 3090 nm in diameter and 17 m in length grown perpendicular to the surface of the substrates at an average growth rate of 102 m/h. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrum is carried out to identify the composition of the CNTs and EDX analysis demonstrated that the CNTs are formed as tip growth.
