Epitaxial graphene nanoribbon array fabrication using BCP-assisted nanolithography.

چکیده
A process for fabricating dense graphene nanoribbon arrays using self-assembled patterns of block copolymers on graphene grown epitaxially on SiC on the wafer scale has been developed. Etching masks comprising long and straight nanoribbon array structures with linewidths as narrow as 10 nm were fabricated, and the patterns were transferred to graphene. Our process combines both top-down and self-assembly steps to fabricate long graphene nanoribbon arrays with low defect counts. These are the narrowest nanoribbon arrays of epitaxial graphene on SiC fabricated to date.

Graphene Nanoribbon Array Fabrication by Oxygen Gas Plasma Etching through Sub-micrometer Porous Filters
We investigate a novel method of fabricating a network of graphene nanoribbon structures. The process is a sharp departure from conventional nanolithographic techniques in both method and amount of time required. Epitaxial graphene prepared on single crystal 4H-SiC(0001) was etched with O2 plasma through 0.2 μm porous filters adhered to the surface of the sample. Thickness measurements using el...
متن کاملFabrication of top-gated epitaxial graphene nanoribbon FETs using hydrogen-silsesquioxane
Top-gated epitaxial graphene nanoribbon (EGNR) field effect transistors (FETs) were fabricated on epitaxial graphene substrates which demonstrated the opening of a substantial bandgap. Hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) was used for the patterning of 10 nm size linewidth as well as a seed layer for atomic layer deposition (ALD) of a high-k dielectric aluminum oxide (Al2O3). It is found that the reso...
متن کاملA large-area 15 nm graphene nanoribbon array patterned by a focused ion beam.
Using a focused ion beam, we patterned epitaxial graphene on SiC into an array of graphene nanoribbons as narrow as 15 nm by optimizing the Ga(+) ion beam current, acceleration voltage, dwell time, beam center-to-center distance and ion dose. The ion dose required to completely etch away graphene on SiC was determined and compared with the Monte Carlo simulation result. In addition, a photodete...
