Claim Text:
1. A method for transferring a carbon nanotube array, the method comprising: providing a substitute substrate, a growing substrate, and the carbon nanotube array grown on the growing substrate, the carbon nanotube array having a bottom surface adjacent to the growing substrate and a top surface away from the growing substrate, the carbon nanotube array being configured for drawing a carbon nanotube structure therefrom; placing the substitute substrate on the top surface of the carbon nanotube array and sandwiching water between the substitute substrate and the carbon nanotube array; freezing the water between the substitute substrate and the carbon nanotube array into ice; separating the substitute substrate from the growing substrate, thereby separating the bottom surface of the carbon nanotube array from the growing substrate; and removing the ice between the substitute substrate and the carbon nanotube array, the carbon nanotube array still being configured for drawing the carbon nanotube structure from the substitute substrate.
