Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for preparing a carbon nanotube array, and a method for preparing a carbon nanotube array by laser assisted chemical vapor deposition. [Prior Art] The carbon nanotubes were discovered in the early 1990s as a new type of Venai material. The special structure of the nano tube is determined by its special properties, such as high resistance, tensile resistance and high thermal stability. With the change of the spiral shape of the nano-carboniferous tube, the carbon nanotubes can exhibit metallic or semiconducting properties. Because carbon nanotubes have an ideal-dimensional structure and excellent properties in the fields of mechanics, electricity, heat, etc., they have shown a broad time in the interdisciplinary fields of materials science, chemistry, and physics, in scientific research and Industry _ has also received more and more attention. At present, the more mature methods for preparing carbon nanotubes mainly include arc discharge, laser ablation (Laser Ablati〇n) and chemical VaP〇r Deposition. Among them, the chemical vapor deposition method has the advantages of high yield, strong controllability, compatibility with the advanced integrated circuit process, and the like, which is convenient for industrial large-scale synthesis, and thus has been widely accepted in recent years. attention. The chemical vapor deposition method for preparing carbon nanotubes generally includes traditional thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD), piasma chemical Vapor Deposition (PCVD) and laser assisted Laser-Induced Chemical Vapor Deposition (LICVD). 6 200827472 The previous laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition method generally used a laser as a rapid heating heat source, and (4) the wire was directly irradiated on the substrate of the growth chamber (4) to raise the temperature to reach the temperature required for growth. When the carbon-containing reaction gas flows through the surface of the high-temperature substrate, the temperature is increased by the influence of the substrate, and the reaction gas generates a pyrolysis or a chemical reaction by reacting with the catalyst on the substrate, thereby realizing the growth of the nanotube rear tube. However, the previous laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition method for growing carbon nanotubes has the following disadvantages. First, the method is generally carried out in a sealed reactor, and the reaction gas is filled in the entire reaction space. The equipment is complicated, and it is difficult to make a large reactor for growing carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition on a large-area substrate. Secondly, the method uses a laser beam to directly illuminate the substrate required for the growth of the carbon nanotubes. Due to the high intensity of the laser field, it is easy to destroy the growth of the carbon nanotubes. Again, the previous method I does not accurately control the movement of the laser beam, and it is easy to achieve the growth of the patterned carbon nanotube array due to poor focusing of the laser beam. In view of this, it is indeed necessary to provide an improved laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition method that enables accurate patterned growth of carbon nanotube arrays. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A method for preparing a carbon nanotube array includes the steps of: k providing a substrate; forming a catalyst layer on a surface of the substrate; and flowing a mixed gas of a carbon source gas and a carrier gas through the catalyst layer The surface, and the laser beam is focused on the substrate by a galvanometer scanning system to grow the carbon nanotube array. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method of the carbon nanotube array 7 200827472 adopts a galvanometer scanning system to control the laser beam to be focused on the substrate κ, and the galvanometer itself has a high scanning frequency, which can be realized. A high-speed scanning process of the laser beam is irradiated onto the substrate to effect patterning of the carbon nanotube array. In addition, since the carbon nanotube catalyst layer or the light absorbing layer is used, the preparation method of the carbon nanotube array of the embodiment of the present invention does not need to be carried out in a sealed reaction chamber, and the method is simple and controllable.

In this embodiment, the catalyst ethanol solution is formed by mixing a mixture of a metal salt of 200827472 with an ethanol solution. The metal nitrate mixture is magnesium nitrate (Mg(N〇3)2, 6H2〇) and iron tartaric acid (Fe(N〇3)3,9H2〇), and lithospermic acid (Co(N〇3)2 · 6H2O) or a mixture of succinic acid (Ni (Ν〇3) 2 · 6H2O) or a mixture of several components. 1-5. 5Mol/L. The content of the magnesium nitrate is 0.01~0.5M〇1/L, and the content of the magnesium nitrate is 0. 01~0. 5Mol/L . The catalyst ethanol solution can be formed on the surface of the light absorbing layer by spin coating, and the rotation speed thereof is preferably about 1,500 rpm. The thickness of the catalyst layer formed by # is 100 to 100 nm. Step 3: a mixed gas of a carbon source gas and a carrier gas is passed through the surface of the catalyst to achieve a desired carbon source gas depth in the vicinity of the catalyst. The carbon source gas is preferably an inexpensive gas acetylene, and other hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane, ethylene, or the like may also be used. The carrier gas is preferably argon, and other inert gases such as nitrogen may also be used. In this embodiment, the carbon source gas and the carrier gas can be directly introduced into the vicinity of the surface of the catalyst layer through a gas nozzle. The ratio of the aeration flow rate of the carrier gas to the carbon source gas is 5:1 to 10: 1, and this embodiment is preferably an argon gas of 200 standard milliliters per minute (seem) and an acetylene of 25 seem. Step 4: The laser beam is focused on the substrate through a galvanometer scanning system to grow the carbon nanotube array. The laser beam can be generated by a conventional argon ion laser, carbon dioxide laser or semiconductor laser. In this embodiment, the laser beam is preferably a laser diode having a power of 2 watts and a laser wavelength of 11 200827472 808 nm. Referring to Fig. 2, the galvanometer scanning system 10 includes a collimating lens 12, a first deflecting galvanometer 14, a second deflecting lens 16, and a focusing lens 18, which are sequentially arranged in the direction of laser propagation. The laser beam 22 generated by the laser 20 is first propagated to the collimator lens 12, and is incident in parallel to the first deflection galvanometer 14 due to the action of the collimator lens 12. The collimating lens 12 should ensure that the cross-sectional area of the exiting parallel laser beam 22 is smaller than the area of the first deflecting galvanometer 14. After being reflected by the first deflecting galvanometer 14, the laser beam 22 is reflected by the second deflecting galvanometer 16 corresponding to the first deflecting galvanometer 14 and then incident on the focusing lens 18. By the focusing action of the focusing lens 18, the laser beam 22 is focused and irradiated onto the substrate 24 having the catalyst. In this embodiment, the first deflection galvanometer 14 and the second deflection galvanometer 16 are each a level mirror surface on which a reflective film is formed. The material of the reflection film is related to the wavelength of the laser used, and the reflectance of the incident laser beam 22 needs to be ensured. To reach the maximum. The first deflection galvanometer 14 and the second deflection galvanometer 16 are capable of deflecting and reflecting the laser beam 22 at high speed along the X and Y axes, respectively. Further, the high speed scanning of the laser beam 22 on the substrate 24 can be controlled by controlling the high speed deflection of the first deflection galvanometer 14 and the second deflection galvanometer 16 by computer programming. The focusing lens 18 can selectively focus the laser beam 22 that is emitted by using an F-0 lens having a larger diameter, and set the substrate 24 at the focus of the focusing lens 18, thereby achieving control of the laser beam 22 in a larger The scanning focus is focused on the substrate 24 in the range. 12 200827472 It can be understood that the focused laser beam 22 can be directly irradiated from the front surface on the surface of the catalyst layer of the substrate 24, and when the material of the substrate 24 is transparent or thin, the laser beam 22 can also be focused and illuminated. The reverse side of the substrate 24' when the laser beam 22 is incident on the opposite side of the substrate 24, the energy of the laser beam 22 can be quickly transmitted through the substrate 24 to the catalyst layer and heat the catalyst. Due to the action of the catalyst, and the laser beam 22 is irradiated on the catalyst layer of the substrate 24 to heat the catalyst, the carbon source gas introduced into the vicinity of the substrate 22 is pyrolyzed to a carbon unit (C=C or c) and hydrogen at a certain temperature.

Further, in the present embodiment, the action of absorbing the laser energy by the carbon-containing catalyst layer or the light absorbing layer may be carried out at a reaction temperature of less than 6 (10) degrees Celsius. Alternatively, the carbon-containing catalyst layer or light absorbing layer can release carbon atoms during the reaction to promote nucleation and growth of the carbon nanotubes. Since the galvanometer scanning system 丨0 controls the laser beam 22 to be focused on the substrate 24 by the galvanometer scanning system '0, the scanning frequency of the first deflection galvanometer 14 and the second deflection galvanometer 16 is high, generally 1000~1GG_ Therefore, high-speed laser scanning illumination can be realized. At the same time, the galvanometer scanning pure 1G can control the vibration riding process by computer programming according to a predetermined pattern, so that the real carbon nanotube array can be grown. In addition, due to the implementation of the present invention, the use of laser-concentrated growth of the nano-reverse & array 'catalyst local temperature can be added in a relatively short period of time. 200827472 - heat and absorb enough energy, while the carbon source gas is direct Passed into the vicinity of the catalytically known surface of the added,,,,. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention does not require a sealed reaction chamber, and can simultaneously ensure that the growth of the carbon nanotube array is achieved: the desired temperature and the concentration of the carbon source gas are reached in the vicinity of the tantalum agent, and The reduction of hydrogen produced ensures that the oxidized catalyst is sufficiently reduced and promotes the growth of the nanotube array.

The carbon nanotube array has a diameter of 50 to 80 μm and a height of 10 to 20 μm. Each carbon nanotube has a diameter of 40 to 80 nm. Referring to FIG. 4, when the graphite emulsion layer is used as the light absorbing layer 蚪 between the substrate and the catalyst layer, the laser beam spacing is controlled by the galvanometer scanning and vertically irradiated from the reverse surface to the glass base f. On the catalyst, a patterned nanocarbon & array as shown in Figure 4 is obtained. Each of the carbon nanotube arrays is in the shape of a hill and grows perpendicular to the substrate.
