Carbon nanotubes grew on top of the metal layer in the array but not on the plain Si substrate. The fabrication process of patterned template is well established and is applicable for large area process. The synthetic approach proposed is well within the capabilities of the IC industry for automation and scale up production of practical devices.Atomic force microscopy;Auger electron spectroscopy;Carbon;Cladding (coating);Current density;Nanotubes;Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition;Scanning tunneling microscopy;Semiconducting diamonds;Semiconducting silicon;Semiconductor growth;Substrates;Diamond-clad silicon tips;Field emitter arrays;Fowler-Nordheim theory;Field emission cathodesjournal article10.1116/1.5913622-s2.0-0034187896
