Abstract
As the demand for semiconductor preparation technology continues to grow in society and the miniaturization of silicon-based semiconductors is approaching physical limits, it is necessary to search for suitable materials as alternatives for nanoscale devices and technologies. Carbon nanotube/diamond (CNT/diamond) composites, a combination of post-Moore era and ultimate semiconductor materials, combine unique one-dimensional and three-dimensional structures of carbon materials with excellent thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties and have the potential to develop into a new generation of high heat flux management devices and new semiconductor devices. In the past 15 years, there were many studies focusing on the integration of diamond with CNT, while it is still a challenge to maximum fulfill all the advantage of both materials. In this review, recent research progresses on the synthesis of CNT/diamond composites by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method are analyzed, including the formation of the CNT/diamond interface, and the application of CNT/diamond composites. The CVD methods for preparing CNT/diamond composites, as well as the various shapes and interface characteristics of CNT/diamond composites, are all thoroughly discussed. And guidelines are provided for various composite application scenarios. Finally, the challenges of the interface characteristics of CNT/diamond composites produced by CVD method are summarized. It is believed that CNT/diamond has great potentials in thermal management and semiconductor devices in the future.
