自從奈米碳管(carbon nanotubes :CNTs)在1991年被Iijima博士 發現後，奈米碳管的製造和特性即引起很大的研究興趣。因此也就衍生了許多新的應用。由於奈米碳管具低起始電場與高電流密度的特性，故目前以應用於場發射顯示器(CNTs-FED)為主。本實驗的目的是找出較佳的成長條件，以符合場發射顯示器的應用。
本實驗將網印銀電極過後的Na玻璃基板利用E-gun蒸鍍機，將不同鎳膜厚度蒸鍍於基板上，以微波加熱化學氣相沉積法（Microwave Heating chemical vapor deopsition：MH-CVD）成長碳奈米材料，以期能得到較佳場發射特性。藉由SEM和拉曼光譜分析碳膜的結構，接著再進行場發射特性量測，所使用的量具為Keitherley 237。
本實驗主要在Na玻璃基板上成長奈米碳管，由於必須克服Na玻璃基板材料本身軟化點約在666℃的問題，故必須要在低溫成長奈米碳管。在混有有機鎳銀電極之Na玻璃基板上，再額外鍍上15 nm鎳，以590℃成長60分鐘時，起始電場為0.56 V/μm，最大電流密度為7.225 mA/cm2；而在無有機鎳銀電極之Na玻璃基板上，鍍上100 nm的鉻和70 nm的鎳，以590℃成長40分鐘時，起始電場為0.56 V/μm，最大電流密度為10.683 mA/cm2，相信本實驗所得之實驗結果，對場發射顯示器之發展有所貢獻，使得場發射顯示器之應用能獲得實現。
