摘要
We report highly substrate-site selective growth of carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition from precursors of ferrocene and xylene mixtures. The technique allows us to grow well-aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes preferentially on the SiO2 regions of patterned SiO2/Si substrates prepared by conventional lithography. This eliminates the catalyst predeposition step in the fabrication process. This simple approach may also be applied to build large-scale networks of organized nanotubes on planar substrates.
