title = "Growth of individual vertically aligned nanotubes/ nanofibers with small diameter by PECVD on different metal underlayers",
abstract = "The primary goal of this work is to achieve significant improvement of growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/ carbon nanofibers (CNFs) on different metal underlayers that can provide a platform for electronic companies to adopt the technology into their existing manufacturing pipeline. In order to meet the requirements we have exploited a crucial component, inclusion of amorphous Si, as a buffer layer between the catalysts and the metal substrates to facilitate the growth of carbon nanotubes/fibers. Here we present some of the results on growth of carbon nanostructures on different metal underlayers for three different catalyst configurations: as film, as metal stripes and as dots of catalysts. Electrical characteristics of the grown structures as measured by STM are also addressed.",
