EMBODIMENT DESCRIPTION: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a carbon nanotube array. [Prior Art] Due to the unique electrical properties of carbon nanotubes, its application in the field of nano-integrated circuits, single-molecule devices, etc. has an inestimable prospect. At present, it has been possible to manufacture a small number of devices based on carbon nanotubes, NAND gates, etc. in the laboratory, and to study their properties.

Controlling the growth direction of carbon nanotube cracking is an important topic in the application of nanotechnology.

The present invention will be described below with reference to a number of embodiments in which a carbon nanotube array is fabricated to control the growth of the carbon nanotube array in at least one direction. - A method for realizing the nano-carbon nanotubes of the naphthalene content, the steps comprising: forming a shielding layer on the substrate, such as a substrate; providing a side-sputtering source for observing the substrate Splash axis - = agent layer, the thickness of the catalyst layer is Η. Nano, thicker than the thicker ^ end to remove the above-mentioned shielding layer, annealing the catalyst layer; i Α carbon source treatment of the catalyst after the f-growth growth of the carbon tube array, selected 'annealing catalyst layer before Comparing the catalyst to at least one catalyst block, the catalyst block having a first end and a first portion opposite the first end 'ensure that the catalytic block is from the first end to the second The ends are gradually thickened.

'咏 The substrate material consists of porous tantalum, polished bakelite, glass and metal. The catalyst layer is made of one of iron, cobalt, nickel or an alloy thereof. Compared with the prior art, the carbon nanotube array manufacturing method provided by the technical solution does not need to design a substrate impurity and does not require an external electric field or a magnetic field, and can be applied to the substrate by using a common surface device with a certain thickness of the shielding layer. A catalyst layer having a gradient thickness is formed thereon. Due to the growth rate of the carbon nanotubes and the thickness side of the catalyst: the fastest growth rate of the carbon nanotubes at the optimum thickness of the catalyst is gradually reduced or thickened on the basis of the thickness, and the growth rate of the carbon nanotubes will be Gradually decreases. Therefore, it is possible to realize (four) carbon nanotubes _ growth in at least one direction, and the required equipment is simple and the process is simple and easy. The obtained nanocarbon discriminating structure can simplify the design of the nano device and enrich its diversity. !317348 θβ. 12.2 9 [Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The first embodiment: The basic steps of fabricating the carbon nanotube array provided by the embodiment include: providing a substrate to form a shielding layer on the substrate; providing a catalyst sputtering source, and shielding the shielding layer on the substrate Emulating a catalyst layer having a thickness gradient, and having a thickness closest to an optimum thickness within the thickness gradient; removing the shielding layer to anneal the catalyst layer; introducing carbon source gas after the above treatment A carbon nanotube array is grown on the catalyst layer, and the nanolu tube array is bent to grow away from the optimum thickness. The above steps are specifically described as follows: Referring to the first figure, a substrate 10 is provided on the side of the substrate 10 (the right side shown in the figure) to form a shielding layer 4 一定 having a certain thickness; and the shielding layer 4 〇 A linear catalyst sputtering source 20 is disposed above the substrate sputtering catalyst, and a portion of the catalyst sputtered by the catalyst sputtering source is blocked by the 'shielding layer 40, thereby forming a catalyst layer 30 having a thickness gradient on the substrate. The material of the substrate 10 may be a ruthenium sheet, a glass sheet, a metal sheet or the like. In this embodiment, a cymbal sheet is used. The material of the catalyst may be iron, cobalt, nickel or an alloy thereof, and an iron catalyst is used in this embodiment. The mask layer 40 may be a thick film photoresist, a metal or metal oxide adhered to a sacrificial layer, a metal nitride or the like. In this embodiment, a thick film photoresist is used; the shape of the shielding layer 40 may be a square or a rectangular parallelepiped. Or a plurality of shapes, such as a cylinder, in the embodiment, a rectangular parallelepiped shape; the shielding layer 40 has a vertical shielding surface 42 of a certain height, which is the thickness of the shielding layer 4, which is preferably smaller than the catalyst under predetermined sputtering conditions. The mean free path of atoms. The mean free path of the catalyst atom *5 depends on the formula: (1)

In the present embodiment, under the condition of magnetron sputtering of Tc and IPa gas pressure, the atomic mean free path of the catalyst iron is about 5 _ 5xl (T3m. The occlusion layer 4 〇 can also adopt a hollow template of appropriate thickness, 1317348 9β 13.29 However, the hollow template is preferably adhered to the substrate 1 when the catalyst is deposited.

直線型催化劑濺射源20到基底10之距離最好大於催化劑之原子平均自 由程,以使濺射出之鐵催化劑能均勻沈積於基底上;催化劑濺射源2〇之尺 寸大小無特別限制,但至少有一部分位於垂直遮擋面42之一侧(本實施例爲 右侧)’以確保催化劑賤射源2〇減射出來催化劑能被遮擋層4〇擋住一部分’, 從而使於基底上沈積之催化綱3〇於—定厚度範圍内具有漸變之梯度。催 化劑層30靠近遮擋面42之一端厚度較薄,優選的,其厚度範圍爲卜仞夺米; 遠離遮擋面42之-稱度較厚,魏的,其厚度範圍爲㈠修米。:射催 化劑時,直線型催化劑濺射源20與基底1〇可以相對靜止,也可以沿平行於 基底10之方向(即垂直於紙面方向)於小範圍内相對移動(請參見第一圖), 如催化劑職垂直於紙面方向,聽化麵射·與基細可沿平行 於紙面方向於小細_對赫,鱗餅賴硫左纖底上沿一個方 向沈積出較大面積具有厚度梯度之催化劑層3〇(請參見第一圖及第二圖), 本實施例中,直線型催化劑濺射源20和基底1〇沿垂直於紙面方向於小範圍 内相對移動。 另外,若採用點催化劑濺射源,藉由控制該點催化劑濺射源與遮擋層 之相對位置’也可以於基底上沿一個方向沈積出較大面積具有厚度梯度之 催化劑層30。The distance between the linear catalyst sputtering source 20 and the substrate 10 is preferably greater than the atomic mean free path of the catalyst, so that the sputtered iron catalyst can be uniformly deposited on the substrate; the size of the catalyst sputtering source is not particularly limited, but At least a portion is located on one side of the vertical shielding surface 42 (the right side in this embodiment) to ensure that the catalyst source 2 is reduced and the catalyst can be blocked by the shielding layer 4, thereby catalyzing deposition on the substrate. The outline has a gradient of gradient in the range of thickness. The catalyst layer 30 is thinner near one end of the shielding surface 42. Preferably, the thickness thereof is in the range of dime; the thickness away from the obscuring surface 42 is thicker, and the thickness of the layer 30 is (1) repairing rice. When the catalyst is shot, the linear catalyst sputtering source 20 and the substrate 1〇 may be relatively stationary, or may move relatively in a small range in a direction parallel to the substrate 10 (ie, perpendicular to the paper surface) (see the first figure). If the catalyst is perpendicular to the direction of the paper, the hearing surface and the base can be deposited in a direction parallel to the direction of the paper, and a large area of the catalyst having a thickness gradient is deposited in one direction along the left side of the scale.

According to the formula (2), the thickness of the catalyst layer closest to the shielding surface 42 is 7. /2; the thickness of the catalyst layer is gradually increased away from the shielding surface 42; if the size of the catalyst sputtering source 2 〇 on the right side of the shielding surface is infinitely long, when the position on the catalyst layer 30 is farther from the shielding surface 42 than the shielding At the thickness of the layer, the thickness of the catalyst layer reaches 7; wherein the catalyst layer 3 has a significant thickness gradient which is approximately equal to twice the thickness λ of the occlusion layer. In this embodiment, in order to obtain a catalyst layer having a significant thickness gradient, the shielding layer 4〇1317348 96. 12.29 should be homogenized, and the shadow range formed by the thin to thick ladder* direction needs to grow 9 bits, the domain ' The length of the shadow range in the direction is preferably substantially equal to the occlusion? 曰η * The thickness of the occlusion layer is 0·1μιη~1(), and the length corresponds to 〇.2叩~ Ε-私=4〇 formation The shaded range can be determined by assuming that the direct _ catalyst source 20 is one or two; 'the position of the light on the right side of the vertical occlusion surface 42 is blocked by the occlusion layer 40 so as to be on the left side of the vertical occlusion surface 42. A shadow area is formed on the upper surface, which is the shaded range formed by the occlusion layer 40. , ί (4) - Figure 'wrong occlusion layer 4 °, compared to the catalyst layer 3. The optimum thickness line 32, ^: the control of the growth direction of the second-end nano-nose stone. The thickness of the catalyst layer 30 is from - end to the other end - too. The thickness of a position between the ends is most suitable for growth under a certain chemical vapor deposition condition. The thickness of this position is the optimum thickness. The optimum thickness can be achieved by forming a catalyst layer having a thickness ranging from thin to thick on a base of a stone substrate, and forming a catalyst layer having a thickness ranging from a thin layer to a thick layer. The upper layer can reach the optimum thickness: the neat tube array is grown by chemical vapor deposition under predetermined conditions; the growth material of the carbon nanotube is grown by the mirror; the thickness of the contacted lion is the prefab The best thickness below. The position of the most rotational position on the catalysis is the line of the most & For example, in the present embodiment, the iron on the base of the Shixi substrate is used as a catalyst, and is grown by B at 7 ° C. The optimum thickness of the catalyst layer of the butadiene and carbon nanotubes is about 5 nm, and the thickness is about 5 The position of the nanometer is connected to the line - that is the optimum thickness line 32, see the second and third figures. What is the optimum thickness on the catalyst layer? 1 The carbon nanotubes have the fastest growth rate, and the thickness of the carbon nanotubes is gradually thinned or thickened. In the actual operation, the thickness distribution of the catalytic sword layer 3 in the present embodiment may further preferably be 3 nm to 15 nm in consideration of the optimum thickness. Referring to the second figure, a certain pattern is formed on the catalyst layer 30. In this embodiment, a catalytic thin form is formed by photolithography: a layer of light is formed on the catalytic_3G, the woven fabric is exposed by using a mask having a predetermined pattern, and after development, the unprotected catalyst film is washed away with acid, and the catalyst is removed. The photoresist on the 'forms the catalyst blocks 33, 34 having a thickness gradient corresponding to the mask pattern. Since the position of the catalyst block is selected on which side of the optimum thickness will determine the direction of the bend of the carbon nanotube array, the photolithographic pattern should be formed as needed to align the mask position 96. *2.29 1317348 . When the catalyst layer 30 is deposited, if a hollow template of a suitable thickness is used as the shielding layer 4, the step of forming a catalyst pattern by photolithography may be advanced before the deposition of the catalyst layer 3, and in this step, only the stripping may be performed. The process can obtain a catalyst pattern with a thickness that meets the requirements. Referring to the fourth figure, the substrate with the catalyst block is immersed in air, annealed under 3 or the like, and the catalyst block is oxidized and contracted into nanometer-sized catalyst oxide particles 31. The size of the local catalyst oxide particles is related to the thickness of the catalyst layer at the place, for example, the thickness of the catalyst block 33 on the side of the preferred thickness is oxidized and contracted into catalyst oxide particles, and the diameter is smaller; the thickness is larger than the optimum thickness side. The catalyst block 34 is oxidatively shrunk into catalyst oxide particles 34 and has a large diameter. Referring to the fifth figure, the substrate on which the catalyst oxide particles are formed on the surface is placed in a reaction furnace (not shown), and carbon source ethylene is introduced to grow the carbon nanotube array by chemical vapor deposition. During the growth process, the carbon source and the gas decompose the chlorine gas to reduce the catalyst oxide particles 33 to the catalyst particles 33, 34, and then grow the carbon nanotube arrays 5, 51 on the catalyst particles 33", 34". Carbon gas can also be converted to other carbon-containing gases such as hydrazine and acetylene. However, due to the difference in the optimum thickness of the catalytic ride under different chemical vapor deposition conditions, the chemical gas accumulation conditions of the growth carbon nanotubes are better than the above-mentioned conditions for determining the optimum thickness _ growth carbon nanotubes. the same. The growth time of the stack can control the growth length of the carbon nanotube arrays 5, 51. The selling thickness is less than the optimum thickness of the side, the catalytic block 33 is close to the optimum thickness line side to the degree - side 'thickness riding thinning; the thickness A is the best thickness side - the catalyst = 34 from the most money Good thickness - away from the optimum thickness - side, the thickness gradually thickens. Since the growth rate of the carbon nanotubes at the position of the thickness of the book is the fastest, the thickness of the carbon nanotubes is gradually reduced by 1: the growth rate of the carbon nanotubes is gradually reduced, so that the catalytic particles are grown on the catalyst particles 33". The tube array touches the thicker side of the catalytic block - the side is thinner - the side is curved, and the carbon nanotube array 51 grown from the thicker side is from the thinner side of the catalyst block to the side of the thicker layer i 2, that is, the catalyst particles 33, ', 34" on the growth of the carbon nanotubes are deviated from the direction closest to the most thick wire away from the optimum thickness. If two catalytic blocks are respectively distributed on both sides of the carbon tube ml, the two carbon nanotube arrays having opposite growth directions can be obtained by growing the nano-layers formed on the two-staged formation. Referring to the first, the figure 'the carbon nanotube array structure obtained by the above method】 includes a substrate 11 95. 1317348 i0 phase of the nano carbon material touches 51, the nano tube array and the grip have two ends gradually thinning Bending at the end-end; if the catalyst layer is two === :=== round-spinning, splitting the chest, = ΐ second embodiment: a chemical-type catalytic ship source, or a linear catalyst destroying source, and a linear catalyst The sputtering of the base of the base is better than that of the city, and it is true that the layer of the layer is a catalyst layer having a thickness gradient. The basic steps of fabricating the carbon nanotube array are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the steps are specifically described as follows: Referring to the seventh figure, a substrate 7G is provided, and a base 8G is formed at the center of the substrate 7G. On the upper layer 8 (), the branch-face is difficult to ride 6G, and when the base 2 catalyst is applied, the -partial catalytic surface blocks the fine block, thereby forming a catalyst layer 9〇 having a thickness gradient on the substrate. — 〃 The occlusion layer has a vertical offset of a predetermined degree, which is the thickness of the cover (9). At least a portion of the surface-type catalyst sputtering source 60 is located directly above the shielding layer 8〇 so that the sputtering catalyst has 4 knives which are blocked by the shielding layer 8〇, so that the catalyst layer 9〇 obtained on the substrate is located in the occlusion, the area around 80 There is a gradient gradient inside, and the closer to the shielding layer 8〇, the thinner the thickness of the catalyst layer egg, and the further away from the shielding layer 8〇, the thickness of the catalyst layer 90 gradually increases. The shielding layer 80 covers the area of the substrate along the gradient of the thin to thick gradient of the catalyst layer to cover the area where the carbon nanotube array needs to be grown, and the length of the shadow range in the direction is preferably substantially equal to the thickness of the layer. 2 times, the method of determining the shading is compared with the first embodiment. In addition, a linear catalyst sputtering source can also be used. When the catalyst is sputtered, the source of the subtraction can be relatively stationary with the substrate; if the linear catalyst is parallel to the ==, the sputtering source and the substrate can be perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Relatively shifting 12 1317348 '95. 12^2 d in a larger range; if the linear catalyst sputtering source is placed perpendicular to the paper surface, the catalyst sputtering source and the substrate can be in a larger range parallel to the paper surface direction. The relative movement is to ensure that a large area of the catalyst layer 90 having a thickness gradient is deposited in the area around the occlusion layer 8 . Referring to the eighth and ninth figures, the occlusion layer 80 is removed, the optimum thickness of the catalyst layer 90 is determined under certain chemical vapor deposition conditions, and the optimum thickness line 92 is marked. The method of determining the optimum thickness line 92 is the same as the method of determining the optimum thickness line 32 in the first embodiment. Please refer to the tenth figure to form a catalyst pattern. In this embodiment, the catalyst layer 9 is etched out of the plurality of catalyst blocks 'and the catalyst blocks are respectively located on both sides of the optimum thickness line 92, such as the catalyst blocks 93, 94 are respectively at the optimum thickness line 92. On both sides, the catalyst blocks 95, 96 are on either side of the φ optimal thickness line 92, respectively. Alternatively, when the catalyst layer 90 is deposited, a thick and thin double-layer composite hollow masking template is used instead of the shielding layer 8〇 to directly deposit a catalyst pattern having a desired thickness. Referring to Fig. 11, the substrate 7 with the catalyst block is immersed in air, annealed at 3 ° C or the like to oxidize and shrink the catalyst block into nanometer-sized catalyst oxide particles. The local catalyst oxide particle size is related to the thickness of the catalyst block at the site, such as the catalyst block 94, 95 having a thickness less than - the optimum thickness side is oxidatively contracted into catalyst oxide particles 94, and the 95'' diameter is small. The catalyst block (10), % having a thickness greater than the optimum thickness side is oxidized and shrunk into catalyst oxide particles 93, 96, and has a large diameter. Referring to Fig. 12, a substrate 7 having a catalyst oxide particle formed on its surface is placed in a reactor (not shown), a carbon source gas is introduced, and a carbon nanotube array is grown by chemical vapor deposition. The carbon source gas decomposes hydrogen during the growth process to reduce the catalyst oxide particles 93, 94, 95, 96 to catalyst particles 93", 94", 95", 96", respectively, and then to the catalyst particles 93" , 94", 95", 96" grown carbon nanotube arrays 100, 1 〇 1 〇 2 and 1 〇 3. On the side of the thickness less than the optimum thickness, the carbon nanotube arrays 1〇1, 1〇2 grown on the catalyst particles 94", 95" are bent toward the thickness of the catalyst block, and the thickness is greater than the optimum thickness. On one side, the catalyst particles are evil, and the growth of the nano-tube array _G, 1G3 increases the thickness of the catalytic block (4). The same is true for the nano-carbon tube arrays being bent away from one side of the optimum thickness line 92. • Referring to FIG. 13 , the carbon nanotube array structure 2 obtained by the above method includes a substrate 7 , a plurality of carbon nanotube arrays 1 , 1 , 1 , 2 , and 2 formed on the substrate 70 . 1〇3, etc., a plurality of carbon nanotube arrays have a plurality of different bending directions. 13 «1 1317348 Micro-electronic devices such as devices and electric vacuum devices, field emitters and other micro-functional structures.
