초록

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been produced using various type of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Catalysts such as Ni, Co, and Fe are used for growth of CNTs. To explain the effect of catalysts on the growth characteristics of CNTs, carbon species of $C_2H_2$ was observed in different catalysts using optical emission spectroscopy (OES) with theoretical calculation on the surface reaction in different catalysts.
