This TiN support layer was deposited on SiO2 pads before depositing nickel (Ni) as the catalyst material. The Ni distribution on different TiN thicknesses was studied under hydrogen environment at 600°C. Then, the samples were further annealed at 600°C in acetylene and hydrogen environment for CNTs growth. The results show that, the optimum TiN thickness was obtained for 50 nm attributed by the lowest D to G ratio (0.8).}, type={Article}, title={The Effect of Titanium Nitride Thickness as a Support Layer for Carbon Nanotubes Growth}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/124023/PDF/AMM-2022-3-20-Ramli.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2022.139689}, keywords={Titanium Nitride, Support Layer, carbon nanotubes, Interconnection}, }
