ABSTRACTSynthesis of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) was attempted by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition using CH4/H2/NH3 gases on Ni/Cr-coated glass at low temperature. The synthesis was investigated by optical emission spectroscopy and quadrupole mass spectroscopy. It was observed that MWNTs could be grown within a very restrictive range of gas compositions. An addition of a small amount of NH3 resulted in a decrease of C2H2, which can be used to estimate the amount of carbon sources in plasma for the growth of MWNTs, and an increase of CN and Hα radicals acting as etching species of carbon phases. These results show that carbon nanotubes can be grown only under an appropriate condition that the growing process surpasses the etching process. The optimum C2H2 /Hα ratio in a gas mixture was found to be between 1 and 3 for the MWNT growth at low temperature.
