Optimization of the total gas flow (CH4+H2) during the reaction step for different reaction times for CVD-graphene synthesis on polycrystalline nickel foil using an atmospheric pressure set-up is reported. Athickness valuerelated to number of graphene layers in each of the synthesized samples was determined using an Excel-VBA application. This method assigned athickness valuebetween 1 and 1000 and provided information on the percentage of each type of graphene (monolayer, bilayer, and multilayer) deposited onto the polycrystalline nickel sheet. The influence of the total gas flow during the reaction step and the reaction time was studied in detail. Optical microscopy showed that samples were covered with different types of graphene, such as multilayer, few-layer, bilayer, and monolayer graphene. The synthesis variables were optimized according to thethickness valueand the results were verified by Raman spectroscopy. The best conditions were obtained with a reaction temperature of 980°C, a CH4/H2flow rate ratio of 0.07 v/v, a reaction time of 1 minute, and a total gas flow of 80 NmL/min. In the sample obtained under the optimized conditions, 80% of the area was covered with monolayer graphene and less than 1% with multilayer graphene.

Continuous monolayer graphene sheet with large area has been synthesized via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using liquid hydrocarbon as precursor. Synthesis parameters including growth substrate and growth time have been investigated to assess their influence on monolayer graphene synthesis. Raman spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) reveal that the number of layers and quality of graphene sheet depend greatly on the varied synthesis parameter. The study could be used to improve understanding the growth of graphene by CVD method in order to meet the needs of graphene in various electronic applications.

Graphene transistors using large area chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD) monolayer graphene and advanced dielectric stacks are constructed and examined. Top-gated devices with a SiO 2/ Al 2 O 3 gate-dielectric have a Dirac Point (DP) located at less than 5 V and asymmetric electron/hole mobility. In contrast, devices based on an advanced AlN interfacial layer have a DP located near 0V and a near symmetric carrier mobility- characteristics that could be more suitable for applications that require ambipolar behavior and low-power operation. For the first time, a measured RF cut-off frequency range of 1GHz is measured for top-gated transistors using CVD graphene. The results are of importance for the realization of graphene based, wafer-scale, high frequency electronics.

ABSTRACTAmbipolar top-gated field effect transistors (FETs) based on large area Cu catalyzed CVD-grown monolayer graphene interfaced to advanced dielectrics have been constructed and examined both for their material and electrical qualities. Interfacing of the graphene with novel insulators/substrates could be tailored for the particular application and provide for enhanced device functionality. In contrast to graphene FETs using SiO2-based top-gate dielectric, which show asymmetric electron/hole mobility (with larger hole mobility), and Dirac point shifted to positive levels, FETs constructed using advanced AlN show Dirac point almost near neutral levels and near symmetric electron/hole mobility. The DP is shifted likely due to compensation of the intrinsic p-type doping by n-type doping introduced by the AlN deposition and potentially via a contribution of polarization-induced carrier density. Finally, we demonstrate a top-gated graphene FET with the first observation of RF operation with GHz cut-off frequency based on large area CVD graphene.

AbstractA method of graphene synthesis on the surface of copper foil by cold implantation of carbon recoil atoms is considered. It is established that monolayer graphene films are formed on the surface of carbon-implanted copper foil under certain conditions (annealing temperature and duration, cooling rate) of postimplantation processing.
