Direct Wafer-Scale CVD Graphene Growth under Platinum Thin-Films

Since the transfer process of graphene from a dedicated growth substrate to another substrate is prone to induce defects and contamination and can increase costs, there is a large interest in methods for growing graphene directly on silicon wafers. Here, we demonstrate the direct CVD growth of graphene on a SiO2 layer on a silicon wafer by...

A transfer-free wafer-scale CVD graphene fabrication process for MEMS/NEMS sensors

In this paper we report a novel transfer-free graphene fabrication process, which does not damage the graphene layer. Uniform graphene layers on 4" silicon wafers were deposited by chemical vapor deposition using the CMOS compatible Mo catalyst. Removal of the Mo layer after graphene deposition results in a transfer-free and controlled placement...
