“…substrate shows a large reduction of the D-peak in Raman spectroscopy when compared to graphene grown on Cu foil substrates 30 . Further progress in this area could result in a relatively inexpensive method for growing large area graphene films with a low defect density.…”

Argon-assisted growth of epitaxial graphene on Cu(111)

The growth of graphene by catalytic decomposition of ethylene on Cu(111) in an ultra-high vacuum system was investigated with low energy electron diffraction, low energy electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Attempts to form a graphene overlayer using ethylene at pressures as high as 10 mTorr and substrate temperatures as high as 900 • C resulted in almost no graphene growth. By using an argon overpressure, the growth of epitaxial graphene on Cu(111) was achieved.The suppression of graphene growth without the use of an argon overpressure is attributed to Cu sublimation at elevated temperatures. During the initial stages of growth, a random distribution of rounded graphene islands is observed. The predominant rotational orientation of the islands is within ±1 • of the Cu(111) substrate lattice.

“…In CVD the species are deposited onto a surface that is originally at some high temperature. Though not discussed here, there has also been recent interest in depositing onto transition metal films supported on a separate substrate [243,244,245,246,100,247]. As well as this method, temperature programmed growth (TPG) has also been used.…”

“…These include crystalline substrates such as Cu(111) [253], Ni(111) [254,255], Co(0001) [256,257], Fe(110) [258], Au(111) [259], Pd(111) [62], Pt(111) [58], Re(1010) [260], Ru(0001) [106], Rh(111) [261], Ir(111) [61,139,54,92], but also polycrystalline surfaces [262,263,252] and thin films evaporated onto a different bulk material [264,265]. Here we only mention metals used for CVD; other substrates will be mentioned later on in Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4.…”

Growth of epitaxial graphene: Theory and experiment

et al. 2014

A detailed review of the literature for the last 5-10 years on epitaxial growth of graphene is presented. Both experimental and theoretical aspects related to growth on transition metals and on silicon carbide are thoroughly reviewed. Thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of growth on all these materials, where possible, are discussed. To make this text useful for a wider audience, a range of important experimental techniques that have been used over the last decade to grow (e.g. CVD, TPG and segregation) and characterize (STM, LEEM, etc.) graphene are reviewed, and a critical survey of the most important theoretical techniques is given. Finally, we critically discuss various unsolved problems related to growth and its mechanism which we believe require proper attention in future research.

“…Graphene's protective property has been noted since early on as it seemed to keep the Cu metal used in the CVD process from oxidizing or corroding [41,88,89]. This aspect of graphene has been further researched in depth and indeed has proved to yield an excellent oxidation resisting coating for metals such as Cu and Ni [90].…”

The near explosion of attention given to graphene has attracted many to its research field. As new studies and findings about graphene synthesis, properties, electronic quality control, and possible applications simultaneous burgeon in the scientific community, it is quite hard to grasp the breadth of graphene history. At this stage, graphene's many fascinating qualities have been amply reported and its potential for various electronic applications are increasing, pulling in ever more newcomers to the field of graphene. Thus it has become important as a community to have an equal understanding of how this material was discovered, why it is stirring up the scientific community and what sort of progress has been made and for what purposes. Since the first discovery, the hype has expediently led to near accomplishment of industrial-sized production of graphene. This review covers the progress and development of synthesis and transfer techniques with an emphasis on the most recent technique of chemical vapor deposition, and explores the potential applications of graphene that are made possible with the improved synthesis and transfer.
