Graphene mobility mapping

چکیده
Carrier mobility and chemical doping level are essential figures of merit for graphene, and large-scale characterization of these properties and their uniformity is a prerequisite for commercialization of graphene for electronics and electrodes. However, existing mapping techniques cannot directly assess these vital parameters in a non-destructive way. By deconvoluting carrier mobility and density from non-contact terahertz spectroscopic measurements of conductance in graphene samples with terahertz-transparent backgates, we are able to present maps of the spatial variation of both quantities over large areas. The demonstrated non-contact approach provides a drastically more efficient alternative to measurements in contacted devices, with potential for aggressive scaling towards wafers/minute. The observed linear relation between conductance and carrier density in chemical vapour deposition graphene indicates dominance by charged scatterers. Unexpectedly, significant variations in mobility rather than doping are the cause of large conductance inhomogeneities, highlighting the importance of statistical approaches when assessing large-area graphene transport properties.

Growth of Continuous Monolayer Graphene with Millimeter-sized Domains Using Industrially Safe Conditions
We demonstrate the growth of continuous monolayer graphene films with millimeter-sized domains on Cu foils under intrinsically safe, atmospheric pressure growth conditions, suitable for application in roll-to-roll reactors. Previous attempts to grow large domains in graphene have been limited to isolated graphene single crystals rather than as part of an industrially useable continuous film. Wi...
متن کاملImpact of chlorine functionalization on high-mobility chemical vapor deposition grown graphene.
We systematically investigated plasma-based chlorination of graphene and compared its properties before and after such treatment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that a high Cl coverage of 45.3% (close to C2Cl), together with a high mobility of 1535 cm(2)/(V s), was achieved. The C:Cl ratio n (CnCl) can be effectively tuned by controlling the dc bias and treatment time in the plasma c...

Hall bars were fabricated on epitaxial graphene formed on 4H-SiC{0001} under various growth environments. Subsequently, they were analyzed via electrical characterization, atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman mapping, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with emphasis on the C-face. The results of the measurement techniques were then corroborated to find correlations. It was found that th...

This paper reports on large area, metal-free deposition of nanocrystalline graphene (NCG) directly onto wet thermally oxidized 150 mm silicon substrates using parallel-plate plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Thickness nonuniformities as low as 13% are achieved over the whole substrate. The cluster size La of the as-obtained films is determined from Raman spectra and lies between 1.74 a...
متن کاملRelationship between carrier mobility and bandgap in low- dimensional carbon materials
The intact graphene has a zero bandgap and subsequent low on-off ratio, while modifications on graphene to open the bandgap always bring about dramatic reduction of mobility. Therefore, how to build a graphene device performing both large on-off ratio and high carrier mobility is one of the most attractive topics. Herein, we investigated the intrinsic mobility of graphene-related systems theore...
