The nano carbon tube bundle includes a nano tube, and each nano carbon tube bundle has a length of approximately ㈣ and the ends of adjacent nano carbon tube bundle segments are connected to each other by Van der Waals force. The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing the carbon nanotube rope, which includes the following steps: providing a smooth substrate to deposit a catalytic ship on the substrate, and depositing a deposited substrate in the presence of a protective gas to a specific substrate. After the temperature is provided, a mixture of facial gas and Lai gas is provided, so that the temperature difference between the catalyzed J Bing Yiyi and the carbon source gas is less than 50 ° C, and the carbon source gas fraction is lower than the reaction time. The substrate grows. Then select a nanometer anti-beam fragment including a plurality of nanometer & beams from the nanometer carbon tube array, and use a stretching tool to stretch the nanometer carbon tube bundle section to make the nanometer carbon tube rope along the stretching direction. Job. It controls the temperature difference between the catalyst and the environment by controlling the flow rate of gas, and measures the partial pressure of carbon by controlling the flow rate ratio of the mixed gas.

Interconnected. Please refer to the second figure for a flowchart of a method for manufacturing a nano carbon tube rope according to the present invention. Provide a flat 7 200407259 description of the invention continued, smooth substrate 50 (see Figure 3), p-type or n-type silicon substrate or a silicon substrate with an oxide layer can be selected. In this embodiment, a p-type silicon substrate is used. A metal catalyst 51 having a thickness of several nanometers to several hundred nanometers is formed on the substrate 50 by using an electron beam evaporation method, a thermal deposition method, or a sputtering method (see the fourth figure). The metal catalyst 51 may be iron ( Fe), cobalt (co), nickel alloy or one of its alloys, preferably using iron as a catalyst, with a deposition thickness of about 5 nm. Then, the substrate 50 on which the catalyst 51 is deposited is annealed in air, and the annealing temperature ranges from 300 to 400 C, and the time is about 10 hours.

The velocity ratio of the gas and the protective gas controls the partial pressure of the source gas. The growth rate of the carbon nanotube array is proportional to the temperature difference between the catalyst and the reactor. The flow rate of the light surface gas can be controlled by the temperature of the weaving agent. The temperature of the reaction furnace can be controlled directly. In this embodiment, the minimum temperature difference between the catalyst and the reaction furnace is controlled to 5 (rc, the partial pressure of the carbon source gas should be less than 20%, preferably less than 1⑽.
