Abstract

We presented a systematic investigation on the growth of CNTs including SWNTs on nano-catalyst-embedded particles by PECVD. For CNTs growth, the mixture of $C_2H_2$ and $NH_3$ was used. The total pressure and temperature were kept at 3.25 Torr and 650 $^{\circ}C$, respectively. Finally, we measured the field emission property from CNTs grown from nano-catalyst embedded zeolite particles in vacuum chamber (<$10^{-7}$ Torr).
