Nano-seeding catalysts for high-density arrays of horizontally aligned carbon nanotubes with wafer-scale uniformity.

ABSTRACT: In the realm of modern materials science, horizontally aligned carbon nanotube arrays stand as promising materials for the development of next-generation integrated circuits. However, their large-scale integration has been impeded by the constraints of current fabrication techniques, which struggle to achieve the necessary uniformity, density, and size control of carbon nanotube arrays. Overcoming this challenge necessitates a significant shift in fabrication approaches. Herein, we present a nano-seeding method that revolutionized the preparation of catalyst nanoparticles, crucial for carbon-nanotube-array synthesis. Our approach, underpinned by ion implantation and substrate processing, allows for precise control over catalyst formation. Further development of a vertical spraying chemical
