    摘要: The disclosure relates to a method for forming a nanoscale structure by forming a pattern on a selectively etched layer located on top of a substrate using lithography, wherein the pattern results a gap having sidewalls, performing RIE on the gap having sidewalls, wherein RIE results in the formation of a self-aligned mask on the bottom wall of the gap with unprotected regions on the bottom wall of the gap near the junctions with the sidewalls, and wet etching the gap having a self-aligned mask and unprotected regions to remove the substrate under the unprotected regions to form a nanoscale structure in the substrate. The disclosure also relates to a nanoscale structure array including a plurality of nanotrenches, nanochannels or nanofins having a width of 50 nm or less and an average variation in width of 5% or less along the entire length of each nanotrench, nanochannel or nanofin.

    摘要: The selective growth of vertically aligned, highly dense carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays using a thermal catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) method via selection of the supporting layer where the thin catalyst layer is deposited on. A thin iron (Fe) catalyst deposited on a supporting layer of tantalum (Ta) yielded CCVD growth of the vertical dense CNT arrays. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy revealed a Vollmer-Weber mode of Fe island growth on Ta, with a small contact angle of the islands controlled by the relative surface energies of the supporting layer, the catalyst and their interface. The as-formed Fe island morphology promoted surface diffusion of carbon atoms seeding the growth of the CNTs from the catalyst surface.
