Abstract
The present invention provides a nanostructure on an upper surface of which a small-diameter carbon nanotube (CNT) is formed and which improves an adhesive strength between a substrate and the CNT while controlling an orientation of the CNT, and a method for manufacturing the nanostructure. The nanostructure includes a substrate, a porous layerformed on the substrateto have a fine pore, a fine pore diameter control layerformed on the porous layer, and a carbon nanotubeformed to extend from the fine pore defined by the fine pore diameter control layer, and one end of the carbon nanotube is fixed by the fine pore diameter control layer. It is preferable that the substrateand the fine pore diameter control layerbe electrically conductive. It is preferable that the porous layerbe an anode oxide film. It is preferable that a melting point of the fine pore diameter control layerbe 600° C. or higher.
