- In this paper, we report on a microwave characterization of the interface between Ti/Au contacts and chemical vapor deposition graphene using structures of Corbino geometry, with primary focus on extracting and modeling the capacitance associated with the contact region. It is found that with the current contact resistivity, ρc∼10^−6 Ωcm2, the contact capacitance, on the order Cc∼1 μF/cm2, has a negligible effect on microwave transmission through the contact below ∼100 GHz. Finally, a parallel plate capacitance model for the contact is presented.

- The tunable FBAR is a promising building block for versatile microwave systems. Utilizing graphene electrodes promises higher tunability and frequency. Increased parasitic resistance may hamper the Q-factor of the resonator. This paper reports the initiated study of graphene and contacts at DC and microwave frequencies for optimization of these parameters leading to graphene FBARs.

- We present quantitative correlation mapping of the sheet conductance of large areas of graphene. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) maps the nanoscale conductance averaged over the beam spot size whereas micro four-point probe (M4PP) maps the micro-scale conductance.

- We demonstrate a combination of micro four-point probe (M4PP) and non-contact terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) measurements for centimeter scale quantitative mapping of the sheet conductance of large area chemical vapor deposited graphene films. Dual configuration M4PP measurements, demonstrated on graphene for the first time, provide valuable statistical insight into the influence of microscale defects on the conductance, while THz-TDS has potential as a fast, non-contact metrology method for mapping of the spatially averaged nanoscopic conductance on wafer-scale graphene with scan times of less than a minute for a 4-in. wafer. The combination of M4PP and THz-TDS conductance measurements, supported by micro Raman spectroscopy and optical imaging, reveals that the film is electrically continuous on the nanoscopic scale with microscopic defects likely originating from the transfer process, dominating the microscale conductance of the investigated graphene film.

- A template-assisted method that enables the growth of covalently bonded three-dimensional carbon nanotubes (CNTs) originating from graphene at a large scale is demonstrated. Atomic force microscopy-based mechanical tests show that the covalently bonded CNT structure can effectively distribute external loading throughout the network to improve the mechanical strength of the material.

Towards transfer-free fabrication of graphene NEMS grown by chemical vapour deposition

- Graphene, an atomic monolayer of sp(2)-hybridised carbon atoms, is a promising material for future NEMS based on its remarkable electronic and mechanical properties. Through the rapid progress of chemical vapour deposition of large-scale, high-quality graphene, these applications seem to be close to reality. However, issues related to the graphene transfer process limit the reproducibility of such devices. In this Letter, the authors present two different approaches for fabricating suspended graphene devices without any transfer step, using both catalytically and non-catalytically grown graphene. The authors achieve high reproducibility in manufacturing flat and uniform suspended graphene beams. While good mechanical properties are observed, the electrical performance is still poor, requiring improvements.

- Graphene, a true two-dimensional material with extraordinary mechanical- and electronic properties, is thought to be ideal for nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), like mass- and force sensors. Here, we present two different ways to fabricate suspended graphene for the intended use in future NEMS applications. The fabrication schemes do not require transfer of graphene from a catalyst where the graphene is grown on to another supporting substrate. The transfer is a source of several issues causing irreproducibility in large-scale production of graphene devices. We obtain suspended graphene membranes by locally removing the copper thin film on top of which the graphene is catalytically grown. The membranes are uniform and exhibit mechanical properties similar to those of exfoliated graphene. Also, suspended graphene beams with electrical interconnects are fabricated from non-catalytically grown graphene on SiO 2. Both approaches represent the first steps towards transfer-free fabrication of suspended graphene for NEMS applications.

Frame assisted H2O electrolysis induced H2 bubbling transfer of large area graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition on Cu

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An improved technique for transferring large area graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition on copper is presented. It is based on mechanical separation of the graphene/copper by H-2 bubbles during H2O electrolysis, which only takes a few tens of seconds while leaving the copper cathode intact. A semi-rigid plastic frame in combination with thin polymer layer span on graphene gives a convenient way of handling-and avoiding wrinkles and holes in graphene. Optical and electrical characterizations prove the graphene quality is better than that obtained by traditional wet etching transfer. This technique appears to be highly reproducible and cost efficient.

Graphene p-n-p junctions controlled by local gates made of naturally oxidized thin aluminium films

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Graphene structures with both top- and bottom-electrostatic gates are studied. The top gate is made of thin aluminium (Al) film deposited directly onto graphene, with no prior dielectric layer in between. Natural oxidation of Al at the interface with graphene results in an insulating barrier proving useful in making top gates to graphene. For electrically disconnected top gate, graphene resistance as a function of the slowly-varying back-gate voltage shows hysteresis which reveals dielectric properties of the barrier. The estimated barrier thickness is only 2 nm allowing for very sharp profiles of the electric field in graphene devices. By applying voltages to both back- and top gates, effective p–n–p junctions with sharp interfaces can be created.
