シリコン基板(KST製、熱酸化膜付ウェハ、厚み1000μm)上に、真空蒸着装置(JEOL製、JEE-4X Vacuum Evaporator)により、Al薄膜(厚み10nm)を形成した後、450℃で1時間酸化処理を施した。このようにして、シリコン基板上にAl2O3膜を形成した。このAl2O3膜上に、さらにスパッタ装置(ULVAC製、RFS-200)にてFe薄膜(厚み2nm)を蒸着させて触媒層を形成した。
次に、得られた触媒層付シリコン基板をカットして、30mmφの石英管内に載置し、水分350ppmに保ったヘリウム/水素(120/80sccm)混合ガスを石英管内に30分間流して、管内を置換した。その後、電気管状炉を用いて管内を765℃まで35分間で段階的に昇温させ、765℃にて安定させた。765℃にて温度を保持したまま、ヘリウム/水素/エチレン(105/80/15sccm、水分率350ppm)混合ガスを管内に充填させ、30分間放置してカーボンナノチューブを基板上に成長させ、カーボンナノチューブが長さ方向に配向しているカーボンナノチューブ集合体(5)を得た。
