Abstrakt: Single‐walled carbon nanotubes have been grown by chemical vapor deposition from methane and hydrogen on catalyst patterns prepared by microcontact printing on 20 nm thick silicon nitride substrates. A higher yield of single‐walled carbon nanotubes was obtained by the simple expedient of introducing hydrogen during deposition. Based on atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy measurements, we found that high‐quality single‐walled carbon nanotubes with a broad diameter distribution were obtained.
