Abstract: A method of synthesizing carbon nanotubes including forming a solution including an organometallic compound containing catalyst particles and a solvent, adding at least one support to the solution, wherein the carbon nanotubes are synthesized on a surface of the at least one support, and applying radiation to the solution to which the at least one support is added.

Abstract: Provided is a method of fabricating carbon nanotubes using a focused ion beam (FIB). The method includes: preparing a substrate; scanning the substrate with the FIB; and growing the carbon nanotubes on the scanned substrate.

Abstract: Provided are a method of growing carbon nanotubes and a carbon nanotube device. The method includes: depositing an aluminum layer on a substrate; forming an insulating layer over the substrate to cover the aluminum layer; patterning the insulating layer and the aluminum layer on the substrate to expose a side of the aluminum layer; forming a plurality of holes in the exposed side of the aluminum layer to a predetermined depth; depositing a catalyst metal layer on the bottoms of the holes; and growing the carbon nanotubes from the catalyst metal layer.

Abstract: Provided are a method of horizontally growing carbon nanotubes and a carbon nanotube device. The method includes: depositing an aluminum layer on a substrate; forming an insulating layer over the substrate to cover the aluminum layer; patterning the insulating layer and the aluminum layer on the substrate to expose a side of the aluminum layer; forming a plurality of holes in the exposed side of the aluminum layer to a predetermined depth; depositing a catalyst metal layer on the bottoms of the holes; and horizontally growing the carbon nanotubes from the catalyst metal layer. The carbon nanotubes can be grown in directions rather that horizontally relative to the substrate when laid flat.
