Problems solved by technology

The method described in Document 4 is a method of adjusting the alloy composition ratio of the alloy catalyst film to perform desired density control. However, there is a problem that the alloy grain size grows and becomes coarse due to heating, and the initial grain size cannot be maintained. As a result, a carbon nanotube aggregate composed of the desired number of graphene sheets cannot be obtained

Embodiment 1

[0123] By forming a dispersed film of catalyst particles with various metal catalyst particle densities on a quartz glass substrate by simultaneous sputtering, a reduction step and a CVD step are performed to produce carbon nanotubes with a high yield and controlled growth density. Examples of nanotube aggregates are described below.

[0124] Target A uses Al 2 o 3 For the sintered body, a Fe-W powder metallurgy target (Fe / W=2 / 1) was used for target B. In addition, although Fe was used as the main catalyst particle, W was used as the co-catalyst particle, Al 2 o 3 As for the combination of barrier particles, the same effect can be obtained with the combination of the above-mentioned other metals.
