AbstractWe developed a novel growth method of aligned carbon nanotubes. Aligned carbon nanotubes are grown on a metal catalyst on a glass substrate using biased Helicon plasma chemical vapor deposition (HPECVD) of CH4/H2 gases from 400 C to 500 C. The Helicon plasma source is one of the high-density plasma sources and is promising for low temperature carbon deposition. A Ni film was used as a catalyst to reduce the activation energy of the nanotubes' growth. The carbon nanotubes were deposited on the nickel catalysis layer selectively.

AbstractA carbon nanotube triode using Helicon Plasma-enhanced CVD with electroplated NiCo catalyst has been successfully fabricated. Isolated NiCo based metal catalyst was deposited at the bottom of the cathode wells by electroplating methods to control the density of carbon nanotubes and also reduce the activation energy of its growth. Helicon Plasma-enhanced CVD (HPECVD) has been used to deposit nanotubes at 400°C. Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes were then grown selectively on the electroplated Ni catalyst. Field emission measurements were performed with a triode structure. At a cathode to anode gap of 1.1mm, the turn on voltage for the gate was 170V.

We report a study on a thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system optimized for the growth of well packed and vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on uncoated silicon substrates. The process of synthesis involves the co-evaporation of a carbon precursor and a metal catalyst in a nitrogen atmosphere inside a high temperature furnace. Beside the formation of CNTs, depending in particular on the deposition temperature, other carbon structures can be deposited, such as nanographite. We show the growth results analyzed by different characterization techniques (electron microscopy, porosity and thermal stability investigations, micro-Raman spectroscopy). In addition, we report an investigation on the development of secondary transversal vortex flows caused by the effects of distribution of temperatures inside the growth system, in order to correlate them with the growth results.
