The morphology of graphene on SiC {0001} surfaces formed in various environments including ultra-high vacuum, 1 atm of argon, and 10^-6 to 10^-4 Torr of disilane is studied by atomic force microscopy, low-energy electron microscopy, and…
The morphology of graphene formed on the (000-1) surface (the C-face) and the (0001) surface (the Si-face) of SiC, by annealing in ultra-high vacuum or in an argon environment, is studied by atomic force microscopy and low-energy electron…
The structure of the SiC(000-1) surface, the C-face of the {0001} SiC surfaces, is studied as a function of temperature and of pressure in a gaseous environment of disilane (Si2H6). Various surface reconstructions are observed, both with…
Graphene is formed on SiC(000-1) surfaces (the so-called C-face of the crystal) by annealing in vacuum, with the resulting films characterized by atomic force microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning Auger microscopy and Raman…
We investigate the microscopic processes leading to graphene growth by the chemical vapor deposition of propane in the argon atmosphere at the SiC surface. Experimentally, it is known that the presence of argon fastens the dehydrogenation…
The formation of graphene on the SiC(000-1) surface (the C-face of the {0001} surfaces) has been studied, utilizing both disilane and neon environments. In both cases, the interface between the graphene and the SiC is found to be different…
The industrial realization of graphene has so far been limited by challenges related to the quality, reproducibility, and high process temperatures required to manufacture graphene on suitable substrates. We demonstrate that epitaxial…
Graphene layers were created on both C and Si faces of semi-insulating, on-axis, 4H- and 6H-SiC substrates. The process was performed under high vacuum (<10-4 mbar) in a commercial chemical vapor deposition SiC reactor. A method for H2…
We have determined the growth mode of graphene on SiC(0001) and SiC(000-1) using ultra-thin, isotopically-labeled Si13C `marker layers' grown epitaxially on the Si12C surfaces. Few-layer graphene overlayers were formed via thermal…
We have investigated epitaxial graphene films grown on SiC(0001) by annealing in an atmosphere of Ar instead of vacuum. Using AFM and LEEM we observe a significantly improved surface morphology and graphene domain size. Hall measurements on…
Graphene ranks highly as a possible material for future high-speed and flexible electronics. Current fabrication routes, which rely on metal substrates, require post synthesis transfer of the graphene onto a Si wafer or in the case of…
Among the many anticipated applications of graphene, some - such as transistors for Si microelectronics - would greatly benefit from the possibility to deposit graphene directly on a semiconductor grown on a Si wafer. We report that Ge(001)…
Epitaxial graphene layers were grown on the C-face of 4H- and 6H-SiC using an argon-mediated growth process. Variations in growth temperature and pressure were found to dramatically affect the morphological properties of the layers. The…
An investigation of the early stage formation of graphene on the C-face of 6H-SiC is presented. We show that the sublimation of few atomic layers of Si out of the SiC substrate is not homogeneous. In good agreement with the results of…
With expanding interest in graphene-based electronics, it is crucial that high quality graphene films be grown. Sublimation of Si from the 4H-SiC(0001) Si-terminated) surface in ultrahigh vacuum is a demonstrated method to produce epitaxial…
The unique electronic properties of graphene offer the possibility that it could replace silicon when microelectronics evolves to nanoelectronics. Graphene grown epitaxially on silicon carbide is particularly attractive in this regard…
Non-conventional epitaxial techniques, such as van der Waals epitaxy (vdWE) and remote epitaxy, have attracted substantial attention in the semiconductor research community for their capability to repeatedly produce high-quality…
We demonstrate a technique to produce thin graphene layers on C-face of SiC under ultra high vacuum conditions. A stack of two SiC substrates comprising a half open cavity at the interface is used to partially confine the depleted Si atoms…
We use ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition to grow polycrystalline silicon carbide (SiC) on c-plane sapphire wafers which are then annealed between 1250 and 1450{\deg}C in vacuum to create epitaxial multilayer graphene (MLG).…
