    摘要: A carbon nanotube is formed on at least one Molybdenum-based electrode. In one embodiment, a carbon-nanotube device includes a pair of Molybdenum-based electrodes over respective terraces. Using a catalyst on the Molybdenum-based material of at least one electrode, a carbon nanotube is grown over a gap that separates the terraces to connect the Molybdenum-based electrodes. Yet other aspects of the present invention employ carbon nanotubes extending (suspended) from respective Molybdenum-based structures for use in electrically addressable devices. The nanotubes can also be formed by patterned growth to bridge such Molybdenum-based electrodes. A particular method for manufacturing this device does not require post-growth processing. Applications include, among many others, scalable nanotube transistors/switches nano-electromechanical systems.

    摘要: A field emission device having bundles of aligned parallel carbon nanotubes on a substrate. The carbon nanotubes are oriented perpendicular to the substrate. The carbon nanotube bundles may be up to 300 microns tall, for example. The bundles of carbon nanotubes extend only from regions of the substrate patterned with a catalyst material. Preferably, the catalyst material is iron oxide. The substrate is preferably porous silicon, as this produces the highest quality, most well-aligned nanotubes. Smooth, nonporous silicon or quartz can also be used as the substrate. The method of the invention starts with forming a porous layer on a silicon substrate by electrochemical etching. Then, a thin layer of iron is deposited on the porous layer in patterned regions. The iron is then oxidized into iron oxide, and then the substrate is exposed to ethylene gas at elevated temperature. The iron oxide catalyzes the formation of bundles of aligned parallel carbon nanotubes which grow perpendicular to the substrate surface. The height of the nanotube bundles above the substrate is determined by the duration of the catalysis step. The nanotube bundles only grow from the patterned regions.
