Abstract: The process of the invention is capable of providing conformably-aligned nanotubes perpendicular to the local surface of a flat or non-flat substrate, with an average deviation less than 15 DEG , while also allowing control over the nanotube diameter, length, and location. In particular, the invention uses a high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), advantageously with an acetylene-ammonia chemistry, to provide such results, typically with cobalt as a catalyst metal.

Abstract: A method for fabricating adherent, patterned carbon nanotube films is provided. According to the invention, a substrate is patterned with a carbide-forming material, a carbon-dissolving material, or a low melting point metal. Carbon nanotubes are then deposited onto the patterned substrate, but have relatively poor adhesion to either the substrate material or the patterned material. The substrate is then annealed, typically in vacuum, at a temperature dependent on the particular patterning material, e.g., a temperature at which carbide formation occurs, at which carbon dissolution occurs, or at which the low melting point metal melts. The annealing thereby provides an adherent nanotube film over the patterned areas, while the nanotubes deposited onto the non-patterned areas are easily removed, e.g., by blowing, rubbing, brushing and/or ultrasonication in a solvent such as methanol.

Abstract: The invention provides improved devices containing adherent carbon nanotube films, in particular electron field emitter structures containing such films. Previously, attaining even moderate adherence of powdery or mat-like nanotubes to a substrate was difficult, because of the perfect fullerene structure of nanotubes, which tend to exhibit no dangling bonds or defect sites where chemical bonding to the substrate is able to occur. The invention overcomes these problems, and provides a strongly adherent nanotube film, by a variety of fabrication processes.

Abstract: A gridded microwave tube contains a cold cathode, an anode, and a grid located between the anode and cathode. In one embodiment, the cold cathode has a refractory metal substrate (30,50,60,70,80,90) and carbon nanotube emitters (32,42,53,62,73), the emitters (32,42,53,62,73) having a diameter of 1 to 300nm and a length of 0.05 to 100µm. The grid-cathode spacing is 1 to 100µm, the grid (34,43,54,63,74) contains apertures having a maximum dimension of 0.5 to 100µm, and the grid thickness is 0.1 to 50µm. Emission from the cathode directly onto the grid material itself, which undesirably heats the grid, is reduced by either (a) the presence of a shadow mask (33) between the grid (34) and the emitters (32) or (b) selective formation of the emitters (42,53,62,73) on the surface of the substrate (50,60,70,80,90). The microwave tube operates at a frequency of greater than 0.5GHz, advantageously greater than 2GHz.

Abstract: The process of the invention is capable of providing conformably- aligned nanotubes perpendicular to the local surface of a flat or non-flat substrate, with an average deviation less than 1.5.degree., while also allowing control over the nanotube diameter, length, and location. In particular, the invention uses a high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), advantageously with an acetylene-ammonia chemistry, to provide such results, typically with cobalt as a catalyst metal.

Abstract: Ion beam deposition, using a carbon- and fluorine-containing source or sources, is used to form a fluorinated diamond-like carbon layer in a device, the FDLC layer exhibiting a dielectric constant of 3.0 or less along with a thermal stability of at least 400 DEG C. During the ion beam deposition, due to the unique nature of carbon chemistry, the carbon atoms combine at the substrate surface to form all possible combinations of sp , sp and sp bonds. However, ion beam etching occurs along with deposition, such that atoms of the weaker carbon structures - carbyne and graphite - are removed preferentially. This leads to a buildup of a diamond-like, sp -bonded structure with fluorine atoms, it is believed, substituted for some carbon atoms within the structure, this structure providing the desirable properties of the layer.

Abstract: The invention provides a device comprising an oriented, perovskite PZT layer on a diamond substrate, or other substrates such as silicon or platinum-coated materials. Vapor phase deposition processes are used to deposit a PZT layer onto a perovskite template layer on the substrate. The template layer is more readily deposited in a perovskite structure compared to PZT, and provides for nucleation and growth of the deposited PZT in perovskite form. The vapor phase deposition promotes the oriented structure of the resulting film. The structure is useful in a variety of devices, including surface acoustic wave devices.
