Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrated a roughness dependent chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process to selectively grow aligned carbon nanotube bundles on silicon substrates with microscratches. Our results show that the aligned nanotubes of uniform length (around 2 μm) and diameter (20-30 nm) are assembled to nanotube bundles and in-plane vertically aligned with the microscratches. The microscratch-selective nanotube growth offers a promising approach for the fabrication of 3-D nanotube architectures in a single CVD process.
