Self-assembled organic monolayers on epitaxial graphene with enhanced structural and thermal stability.

چکیده
Scanning tunnelling microscopy and X-ray reflectivity are used to characterize adlayers of perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) deposited on epitaxial graphene (EG) on SiC(0001). PTCDI adopts a herringbone structural phase on EG/SiC that can accommodate sub-5 nm voids with molecularly defined boundaries and isolated molecular vacancies at room temperature. The PTCDI monolayer remains intact up to substrate temperatures of ~260 °C, thus demonstrating enhanced thermal stability compared to previously studied perylene derivatives on EG/SiC.

The development of high-performance graphene-based nanoelectronics requires the integration of ultrathin and pinhole-free high-k dielectric films with graphene at the wafer scale. Here, we demonstrate that self-assembled monolayers of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) act as effective organic seeding layers for atomic layer deposition (ALD) of HfO(2) and Al(2)O(3) on epitaxi...

متن کاملThermal Stability of Epitaxial Graphene Electrodes for Conductive Polymer Nanofiber Devices
We used large area, monolayer graphene epitaxially grown on SiC (0001) as contact electrodes for polymer nanofiber devices. Our fabrication process, which avoids polymer resist residues on the graphene surface, results in graphene-polyaniline nanofiber devices with Ohmic contacts and electrical conductivity comparable to that of Au-nanofiber devices. We further checked the thermal stability of ...
