This work is devoted to the development of a technique for obtaining an array of multi-walled vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT) with a thickness of up to 120 μm on Si/Al2O3/Fe substrates and to the study of their absorbing properties in the THz spectral region, as well as to the assessment of their prospects as a broadband THz radiation absorber based on calculations of the spectral dependence of absorption coefficient for traditional and inverted-type bolometric devices. It is shown that the absorption of the VACNT array transferred onto the Revalpha polymer substrate reaches 70–80% in the wavelength range of 40–200 µm. Calculations show that traditional bolometers with an absorber based on VACNT have the best sensitivity at wavelengths less than 100 μm, and inverted bolometers also having a VACNT layer have the best sensitivity at wavelengths exceeding 50 μm, which makes them complementary to each other.
