Claim:
1. A method for making a metal nanowire film, the method comprising: providing a substrate having a first surface, and applying a metal layer on the first surface, wherein the metal layer has a metal layer surface spaced from the first surface; providing a carbon nanotube composite structure, wherein the carbon nanotube composite structure defines a plurality of openings and comprises a carbon nanotube structure and a protective layer, coated on the carbon nanotube structure; and the carbon nanotube structure comprises a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged substantially along the same direction; placing the carbon nanotube composite structure on the metal layer surface, wherein parts of the metal layer are exposed by the plurality of openings; dry etching the metal layer using the carbon nanotube composite structure as a mask; and removing the carbon nanotube composite structure.
