An easy approach to control the carbon nanotube (CNT) array selectivity on Si/SiO2 in the floating chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method by adjusting the operation temperature is demonstrated. Aligned CNTs can be obtained directly on Si using a standard procedure at a relatively low temperature. After analyzing the temperature influence on different substrates, an attempt to grow an ultra-long CNT forest at the optimized temperature and without any feedstock diffusion limitation is discussed.
