Title:
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CARBON NANOTUBE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/116434
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In a provided process for producing a carbon nanotube, a fine ruggedness is formed
on a substrate surface. A catalytic metal layer of given thickness is formed on
the rugged surface, and heat treatment is conducted at given temperature so as
to convert the catalytic metal layer into isolated multiple microparticles.
The microparticles of the catalytic metal have a uniform particle diameter,
and the distribution thereof is uniform. The substrate carrying the multiple
microparticles is disposed in a carbonaceous gas atmosphere, and according
to the CVD method using a carbonaceous gas, carbon nanotubes are grown on the microparticles
of the catalytic metal. Carbon nanotubes of desired diameter with desired layer
multiplicity can be provided with high reproducibility.
