METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING CARBON NANOTUBE ARRAY AND METHOD FOR FORMING CARBON NANOTUBE STRUCTURE

摘要

A method for transferring a carbon nanotube array includes providing a substitute substrate, a growing substrate, and a carbon nanotube array. The carbon nanotube array is grown on the growing substrate. A carbon nanotube structure can be drawn from the carbon nanotube array.;The carbon nanotube structure includes carbon nanotube segments joined end-to-end. The carbon nanotube array is transferred from the growing substrate onto the substitute substrate. During transfer, the structural integrity of the carbon nanotube array is maintained.

1. A method for transferring a carbon nanotube array, the method comprising:
providing a substitute substrate, a growing substrate, a spacing element, and a carbon nanotube array grown on a surface of the growing substrate, the carbon nanotube array having a bottom surface adjacent to the growing substrate and a top surface away from the growing substrate, the carbon nanotube array being configured for drawing a carbon nanotube structure therefrom, the carbon nanotube structure comprising a plurality of carbon nanotubes joined end to end; and transferring the carbon nanotube array from the growing substrate to the substitute substrate, the carbon nanotube array still being configured for drawing the carbon nanotube structure from the substitute substrate, comprising:
contacting a surface of the substitute substrate to the top surface of the carbon nanotube array while spacing the substitute substrate from the growing substrate by the spacing element; andseparating the substitute substrate from the growing substrate, thereby separating the bottom surface of the carbon nanotube array from the growing substrate.
