ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a process for producing a carbon nanotube (CNT) mat on a conductive or semiconductor substrate. According to this process, a catalytic complex comprising at least one metal layer is firstly deposited on said substrate. Said metal layer then undergoes an oxidizing treatment. Finally, carbon nanotubes are grown from the metal layer thus oxidized. The present invention also relates to a process for producing a via using said CNT mat production process.
