摘要:
The synthesis of nanostructures uses a catalyst that may be in the form of a thin film layer on a substrate. Precursor compounds are selected for low boiling point or already exist in gaseous form. Nanostructures are capable of synthesis with a masked substrate to form patterned nanostructure growth. The techniques further include forming metal nanoparticles with sizes

This invention relates to a carbon structure manufacturing device, which forms carbon structures on a substrate. This manufacturing device comprises a first chamber, which forms a first space accommodating the substrate; a raw material gas supply device, which supplies raw material gas for formation of the carbon structures to the first space; a second chamber, which forms a second space separate from the first space; a gas supply device, which supplies gas for generation of plasma to the second space; a plasma generation device, which generates plasma in the second space; an aperture, connecting the first space and the second space; and, a plasma introduction device, which introduces plasma generated in the second space into the first space via the aperture; the raw material gas is used to form the carbon structures on the substrate. By means of this manufacturing device, when forming carbon structures on the substrate, the occurrence of contamination, foreign matter, and/or the like on electrodes and/or the like can be suppressed, and carbon structures can be formed satisfactorily over a broad area.
