PLASMA ENHANCED CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION SYSTEM FOR FORMING CARBON NANOTUBES

摘要

An embodiment of a system for forming carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) uses one or more of RF and DC power supplies coupled to electrodes in various configurations within a process chamber of the system. By application of a sufficient DC voltage to one or more electrodes, the system allows for growing CNTs that can be straighter and have improved electrical performance characteristics.
