Synthesis of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanofiber Films by RF Magnetron Sputtering

Abstract

The aligned carbon nanofibers were synthesized on Si substrates using RF magnetron sputtering with a hot filament. The hot filament was made of tungsten wire and its temperature was up to 2000 degrees C during the deposition. Nitrogen was used as the sputter gas at a relatively low pressure of 2xlO(exp-2) Torr. The sputtering deposition was carried out at a substrate temperature of 700 degrees C. The nanofibers were grown vertically on the substrates. The diameters and the density of the fibers were about 30-45 nm and 10(exp 9) cm(exp-2), respectively.
