摘要
The effects of chemical treatment on carbon nanotube (CNT) formation by surface decomposition of 6H-SiC were investigated. In the case of 6H-SiC cleaned with CH2Cl2, CNTs were formed only on the C-(000 (1) over bar) face. On the other hand, in the case of 6H-SiC etched with HF solution, CNTs were formed on both C-(000 (1) over bar) and Si-(0001) faces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis detected SiOxCy on the C-(000 (1) over bar) face, and SiO2 and SiOvCw on the Si-(0001) face of SiC cleaned with CH2Cl2. The existence Of SiO2 on the SiC surface prevented CNT formation. The length of CNTs on the Si-(0001) face was about 65% of that on the C-(000 (1) over bar) face. The length of CNTs on the C-(000 (1) over bar) face was not affected by chemical treatment. The difference of CNT length between the C and the Si faces originated from the anisotropy of thermal oxidation.
