Controlled synthesis of graphene by chemical vapour deposition

Host: Professor Barbaros Oezyilmaz
Abstract Details:
We have demonstrated multiple strategies to obtain grain-size, layer number and morphology controlled high quality single-crystal graphene domains on large scale. For example, we developed a backside carbon gettering (BCG) approach for CVD growth of graphene, which regulates the nucleation of graphene domains on the top side of the Cu substrate. In addition, we have improvised the configuration of Cu foil and form a bridge-shaped geometry which generates a confined space for the CVD reaction. More recently, we demonstrated a novel way of recrystallization the polycrystalline Cu substrate surface to single-crystal Cu(111) plane through melting and resolidification phase prior to growth step. Cu (111) surface promoted the epitaxial growth of graphene during CVD and highly orientated single layer as well as bilayer graphene domains were obtained over a large area. Consequently, our multiple approaches of engineering the growth substrate paved the way toward achieving high quality single crystal graphene for high performance ultrathin optoelectronic devices.
