Abstract

This chapter describes the growth of single walled carbon nanotubes on suitable substrates that can be directly used for device fabrication. The chapter focuses on the growth of nanotubes using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. The control of diameters and orientation of the produced nanotubes is discussed. More importantly, a new “fast-heating” CVD method that can produce long and well aligned of nanotubes is described in details. The control of location and orientation offered by this method offer a great advantage for device fabrication, representing a significant advance in controlling the structures of nanoscaled materials through synthesis.
