Focused ion beam milling as a universal template technique for patterned growth of carbon nanotubes
journal contribution
posted on 2007-05-07, 00:00 authored by Ying (Ian) ChenYing (Ian) Chen, Hua Chen, J Yu, J Williams, V CraigFocused ion beam (FIB) milling system has been used to create nanosized patterns as the template for patterned growth of carbon nanotubes on Si substrate surface without predeposition of metal catalysts. Carbon nanotubes only nucleate and grow on the template under controlled pyrolysis of iron phthalocyanine at 1000 °C. The size, growth direction, and density of the patterned nanotubes can be controlled under different growth conditions and template sizes. Atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy analyses reveal that the selective growth on the FIB template is due to its special surface morphology and crystalline structure.
