摘要
Inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition combined with substrate biasing using pure methane was applied to low-temperature synthesis of carbon nanotubes. We found that the resultant carbon nanotubes were crystalline even at a growth temperature of 500degreesC. The growth mechanism of the crystallized carbon nanotubes was discussed in terms of the moderate etching of carbon deposit by hydrogen species dissociated from methane in inductively coupled plasma.
