[0038] The basic steps for making carbon nanotube arrays provided by this embodiment include:

[0039] providing a base, and forming a shielding layer on the base;

[0040] A catalyst sputtering source is provided, and a catalyst layer with a thickness gradient is sputtered on the substrate in cooperation with the shielding layer, and within the range of the thickness gradient, there is a place whose thickness is closest to an optimal thickness;

[0041] removing the shielding layer, and annealing the catalyst layer;

[0042] A carbon source gas is introduced to grow a carbon nanotube array on the above-mentioned treated catalyst layer, and the carbon nanotube array bends and grows in a direction deviating from the optimal thickness.

[0043] The specific instructions for the above steps are as follows:

[0044] see figure 1 , a substrate 10 is provided, and a shielding layer 40 with a certain thickness is formed on one side of the substrate 10 (shown as the right side in t...

[0066] In this embodiment, a surface-type catalyst sputtering source or a linear catalyst sputtering source is used, and the linear catalyst sputtering source and the substrate are relatively moved in a large range to ensure that the substrate in the area around the shielding layer is deposited with Catalyst layer with thickness gradient. The basic steps of making carbon nanotube arrays are the same as those of the first embodiment, and each step is specifically described as follows:

[0067] see Figure 7 , a substrate 70 is provided, and a shielding layer 80 with a certain thickness is formed at the center of the substrate 70; a surface-type catalyst sputtering source 60 is arranged above the shielding layer 80, and when the substrate is sputtered with catalyst, a part of the catalyst is shielded Layer 80 is blocked, thereby forming a catalyst layer 90 with a thickness gradient on the substrate.

[0068] The shielding layer has a vertical shielding surface with a certain h...

Abstract

The process of making carbon nanotube array includes the following steps: providing one substrate and forming one mask layer on the substrate; providing one catalyst source and sputtering catalyst layer of certain thickness gradient and with some point in optimal thickness on the substrate with mask; eliminating the mask and annealing the catalyst layer; introducing carbon source gas to grow carbon nanotube array bending opposite to the point in optimal thickness. The present invention realizes the local control of carbon nanotube array growth.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a carbon nanotube array. 【Background technique】 [0002] Due to the unique electrical properties of carbon nanotubes, their applications in the fields of nano-integrated circuits and single-molecule devices have immeasurable prospects. At present, people have been able to manufacture a small amount of carbon nanotube-based field effect transistors, NOR gates and other devices in the laboratory, and study its properties. But for large-scale preparation and practical application, we must resort to bottom-up (Bottom Up) preparation process. [0003] The bottom-up preparation process requires the necessary control over the growth position, direction, scale, and even the helicity of carbon nanotubes, and directly grows the required device structure through a small number of economical steps. Controlling the growth direction of carbon nanotube arrays is an important topic in the application research of ...
