Manufacturing methods of using a metal imprint technique for growing
carbon nanotubes on selective areas and the structures formed thereof are
provided. One of the manufacturing methods includes steps of forming a
first substrate with tapered structures applied with a metal catalyst,
imprinting a second substrate on the first substrate for being a growth
substrate, and growing carbon nanotubes on the growth substrate. The
other manufacturing method includes steps of forming a first substrate
with tapered structures, imprinting the first substrate on a second
substrate applied with a metal catalyst for forming a second growth
substrate, and growing carbon nanotubes on the second grown substrate.
And, the formed structures of the present invention include a substrate,
plural carbon nanotubes, and plural imprinted vestiges.
