Comprehensive study of graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition

摘要

Graphene was grown on Cu foil by chemical vapor deposition with CH_4 as carbon source, and then was transferred onto various substrates for device applications. The structural and optical properties of graphene were investigated, comprehensively. Raman spectra indicate as-grown and transferred graphene films are homogenous monolayer graphene. Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images reveal wrinkle-free and smooth surface of transferred graphene, confirming the high quality of graphene. In addition, the transferred graphene on glass exhibits excellent transmittances in the visible region (89.3 % at ～500 nm). Therefore, the results present the controllable approaches to achieve as-grown and transferred high quality graphene for the fabrication of multiple nanoelectronic devices.
