Abstract
In this study, we observed the shapes of CNTs formed with the thinckness of catalyst. Catalyst layer was grown by magnetron sputtering method and the thickness of Ni catalyst is the range from 20 to 80 nm. Also, the synthesis of CNT with Ni catalyst thickness was grown by hot-filament PECVD method. And, we investigated the composition of CNTs by using EDS measurement, also observed the shapes of CNTs by using HRTEM and FESEM measurements. In the result, through the TEM analysis, we observed the empty inside of CNTs and the multiwall CNTs, also confirmed the tip of CNT containing Ni. The composition of CNTs are consisted of an element of C, Ti, and Ni. As you shown the growth shapes of CNTs, the pretreatment of the catalyst before te growth of CNTs changed the particle size of the catalysts and grown the CNTs of the different shapes. Consequently, the best vertically alined and well-arranged CNTs exhibited from the substrate deposited at the catalyst thickness of 40 nm.
