Abstract

In this paper, the fabrication of nanoporous anodic alumina template from aluminum foil has been demonstrated using hard anodization process. Copper nanowires arrays were fabricated using continuous and pulse electrodeposition technique into the porous alumina template. Copper nanowires are grown successfully in anodic alumina nano-template. The pulse deposition technique using 50 ms off-time showed better quality samples than those made with continuous deposition technique due to cooling of barrier layer during the off-time.

Keywords: Copper nanowire, nanoporous template, electrodeposition
