Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The present invention relates generally to nanomaterials, and more particularly to a metal nanowire array and a method for fabricating the same.
- 2. Discussion of Related Art
- Miniaturization of integrated circuits is necessary for meeting the demand of processing data at higher speeds. Although some existing photolithography based technologies are useful in miniaturization, it is generally recognized that the existing technologies will reach their fundamental limits in the near future because of the wavelengths of the light sources used.
- An alternative technology is the “bottom-up” assembly of integrated arrays of nanometer-scaled circuits from metal and semiconductor nanocrystals. In respect of this alternative technology, three key objectives must be accomplished. The first is the self-assembly of nanometer-scaled structures from nanocrystals dispersed in colloidal solution. The second is the self-organization of these structures on technologically relevant substrates. The third is the processing of these organized nanocrystal assemblies into robust structures suitable for practical applications.
- In recent years, some exciting progress toward the first and second objects has been made. However, relatively little progress has been reported in the third area. Accordingly, a metal nanowire array with a robust structure suitable for practical applications and a method of fabricating such a metal nanowire array are desired.
- In one embodiment, a metal nanowire array includes an array of metal nanowires extending in a common direction, each metal nanowire including a core portion containing at least one carbon nanotube, and a cladding portion enclosing the core portion therein which includes metal polycrystalline.
- In another embodiment, a method for fabricating a metal nanowire array includes the following steps: providing a carbon nanotube array which includes a number of carbon nanotubes; immersing the carbon nanotube array in a colloidal solution which contains a solvent and a number of metal nanocrystals dispersed in the solvent for self-assembling the metal nanocrystals on exterior surfaces of the carbon nanotubes; taking the carbon nanotube array out of the colloidal solution; and heating the metal nanocrystals on the surfaces of the carbon nanotubes in a manner such that the metal nanocrystals are fused into the metal nanowire array.
- This and other features and advantages of the present invention as well as the preferred embodiments thereof and a metal nanowire array and techniques for fabricating metal nanowire array in accordance with the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the descriptions of the drawings.
- Many aspects of the present metal nanowire array and related manufacture method can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present method. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views

FIGS. 3A-3D are schematic views showing successive stages of the method for fabricating a metal nanowire array in accordance with the preferred embodiment. - Referring now to
FIG. 1 , a metal nanowire array 100 in accordance with the preferred embodiment includes asubstrate 110 and an array ofmetal nanowires 120 extending in a substantially common direction. Each of themetal nanowires 120 includes acore portion 122 and acladding portion 124. Thecore potion 122 is enclosed in thecladding portion 124. It should be noted that thecladding portion 124 could be partially or entirely formed on/enclosing an exterior surface of thecore portion 122 and which should be considered to be within the scope of the present invention. Thecore portion 122 may include a single carbon nanotube or a plurality of bundled carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes may be formed on thesubstrate 110. Thecladding portion 124 includes metal polycrystalline, the metal can be selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, copper, tin, nickel, and germanium. Because of the strength of the aligned structure of the metal nanowire array 100, it is suitable for practical applications. The metal nanowire array 100 can be fabricated by the following method: - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , a method in accordance with the preferred embodiment includes the steps (in no particular order) of: - step 210: providing a
carbon nanotube array 10 which includes a number of carbon nanotubes 14; - step 220: immersing the
carbon nanotube array 10 in acolloidal solution 20 ofmetal nanocrystals 24 for self-assembling themetal nanocrystals 24 on exterior surfaces of the carbon nanotubes 14; - step 230: taking the
carbon nanotube array 10 out of thecolloidal solution 20; and - step 240: heating the metal nanocrystals assembled on exterior surfaces of the carbon nanotubes 14 to form a continuous polycrystalline
metal nanowire array 40. - In
step 210, referring toFIG. 3A , thecarbon nanotube array 10 includes asubstrate 12 and a number of carbon nanotubes 14 formed on thesubstrate 12. The carbon nanotubes 14 extend in a common direction, e.g. perpendicularly from the substrate. A method for preparing such a carbon nanotube array with well-aligned carbon nanotubes is disclosed, for example, in US patent 20040053053A1 by Jiang, KaiLi. et al, which is incorporated herein by reference. The method includes the following steps: providing a smooth substrate; depositing a metal catalyst layer on a surface of the substrate; heating the treated substrate to a predetermined temperature in flowing protective gas; and introducing a mixture of carbon source gas and protective gas for 5-30 minutes, thus forming a carbon nanotube array extending from the substrate. A patterned carbon nanotube array can be prepared by forming a patterned catalyst layer. - In
step 220, referring toFIG. 3B , thecarbon nanotube array 10 is immersed into acolloidal solution 20 of a metal nanocrystals for a period of time. Thecolloidal solution 20 contains asolvent 22 and a number ofmetal nanocrystals 24 dispersed in thesolvent 22. Thesolvent 22 can be selected from the group consisting of water, chloroform, hexylene glycol, and alcohols containing a number of less than 5 carbon atoms (i.e. methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol). The particle size of themetal nanocrystals 24 is in the range from 1 nanometer to 100 nanometers. The metal nanocrystals can be chosen from the group consisting of gold, silver, copper, tin, nickel, and germanium. Preferably thecolloidal solution 20 further contains a stabilizer agent, the stabilizer can be selected for the group consisting of: tetraoctyl ammonium bromide, sodium citrate and poly sodium 4-styrene sulphonate. In this step, themetal nanocrystals 24 are self-assembled on partial or entire exterior surfaces of the carbon nanotubes 14. Preferably, themetal nanocrystals 24 are self-assembled on entire exterior surfaces of the carbon nanotubes 14. Thecarbon nanotube array 10 is immersed in the colloidal solution for a time period in the range from 5 to 72 hours, preferably 10 to 30 hours. - In
step 230, thecarbon nanotube array 10 is taken out of thecolloidal solution 20. Referring toFIG. 3C , after the previous self-assembly step, themetal nanocrystals 24 are attached to exterior surfaces of the carbon nanotubes 14. Themetal nanocrystals 24 are independent from each other as sub-monolayer/monolayer at exterior surfaces of the carbon nanotubes 14 fitted to a Langmuir isotherm. - In
step 240, themetal nanocrystals 24 attached to exterior surfaces of the carbon nanotubes 14 is heated to a temperature in air for a period of time to form a continuous polycrystalline metal nanowire array. The temperature is equal to or higher than the melting point of the metal nanocrystals. It should be noted that the metal nanocrystals have a melting point lower than bulk metal. Furthermore, surface melting can occur at a lower temperature due to enhanced mobility of metal atoms. For example, the gold nanocrystals attached to the surface of the carbon nanotubes 14 have a melting point of about 300 degree Celsius. Preferably, themetal nanocrystals 24 are heated for a time period in the range for example from 35 to 60 seconds as in the illustrated embodiment. Referring toFIG. 3D , after the heating step, the neighboring spherical metal nanocrystals are fused together, therefore a polycrystallinemetal nanowire array 40 composed of a number ofnanowires 30 each having a nanotube core is formed. - It is known that well-aligned carbon nanotube arrays can be obtained by various methods. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, metal nanowire arrays can be synthesized with the nanotube template. The metal nanowire array is suitable for practical applications, such as sensor, catalyst, and thermal interference material.
- Finally, it is to be understood that the above-described embodiments are intended to illustrate rather than limit the invention. Variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed. The above-described embodiments illustrate the scope of the invention but do not restrict the scope of the invention.
