  • Method for making an aligned carbon nanotube
    Patent number: 8080289
    Abstract: A method for making an aligned carbon nanotube includes the steps of a) applying a layer of a ferrosilicon alloy film onto a substrate, b) etching the layer of the ferrosilicon film to form a plurality of fine ferrosilicon alloy particles that are distributed properly on the substrate, and c) placing the substrate of step (b) into a microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system, and supplying a mixture of a carbon-containing reaction gas and a balance gas at a predetermined flow ratio so as to grow carbon nanotubes on the fine ferrosilicon alloy particles, wherein said ferrosilicon alloy of step (a) comprises silicon ranging from 15 wt % to 25 wt %; and step (c) is conducted at a temperature ranging from 300 to 380° C.
