Journal ArticleDOI
Microfabrication technology: Organized assembly of carbon nanotubes
Bingqing Wei,Robert Vajtai,Yung Joon Jung,J. Ward,R. Zhang,Ganapathiraman Ramanath,Pulickel M. Ajayan +6 more
TL;DR: A chemical-vapour deposition method with gas-phase catalyst delivery is used to direct the assembly of carbon nanotubes in a variety of predetermined orientations onto silicon/silica substrates, building them into one-, two- and three-dimensional arrangements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assembly of Highly Organized Carbon Nanotube Architectures by Chemical Vapor Deposition
TL;DR: In this article, a method to simultaneously grow aligned carbon nanotube bundles in multiple, predetermined orientations on planar substrates to build one-to three-dimensional architectures is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substrate effects on the growth of carbon nanotubes by thermal decomposition of methane
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic investigation into the growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on thin metallic films deposited on various substrates was performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous growth of silicon carbide nanorods and carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition
TL;DR: In this paper, carbon carbide nanorods and carbon nanotubes are grown simultaneously on Ni-coated Si(001) substrates by chemical vapor deposition and the nanorod has a non-uniform diameter (average ≈100 nm) significantly larger than that of the nanotube.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling the aligned growth of carbon nanotubes by substrate selection and patterning
Yung Joon Jung,Bingqing Wei,Robert Vajtai,J. Ward,R. Zhang,Ganapathiraman Ramanath,Pullickel Ajayan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of shape and thickness of patterned oxide structures for the controlled growth of aligned carbon nanotubes was investigated and the shapes and the thickness of silicon oxide patterns with conventional micro fabrication techniques like lithography and dry & wet etching were designed.
