Water assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is used widely to synthesize super long, vertically aligned, densely packed carbon nanotube (CNT) forests. Various water assisted CVD parameters give the important influence on the quality of CNT forests. In this paper, several main parameters in water assisted CVD are optimized, such as the flow rate of H2, the content of water and growth temperature. Furthermore, growth on the conductive substrate is also studied by water assisted CVD. Under optimum condition with 10 minutes growth, the length of CNT forests could be 815 μm on silicon substrate and 369 μm on conductive substrate.

AbstractIntra-connects (bridges spanning across in plane electrodes), which were made of carbon nanotube (CNT), were fabricated by CO Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), ethanol CVD and pyrolitic CO CVD. CO PECVD has been used with CO/H2 mixture at relatively low temperatures. Its yield was relatively low though and the quality of CNT intra-connect was not to par. Ethanol CVD resulted in many more multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) than single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) intra-connects. CO CVD was the most effective and simplest way to grow CNT interconnects among the three methods, yielding well-aligned and straight SWCNT bridges.
