We studied the growth of a single standing carbon nanotube (CNT) which was grown by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in the gate hole formed by conventional photolithography in the silicon nitride. The number of CNT per hole increases with increasing the gate hole diameter and a single CNT could be grown in a 3 {mu}m hole. A single standing CNT in a gate hole exhibited the turn-on field of 1.6 V/{mu}m and the current density of 16 {mu}A at 3.3 V/{mu}m. The emission currents follow the Fowler-Nordheim equation with a field enhancement factor of 1.14x10{sup 7}.
