Graphene synthesis on SiO2 using pulsed laser deposition with bilayer predominance
Résumé
Here we report the low-defect synthesis of bilayer graphene film on SiO 2 with a nickel catalyst using pulsed laser deposition combined with rapid thermal annealing. A parametric study was performed with various initial amorphous carbon (a-C) film thicknesses and annealing temperatures and a fixed nickel catalyst film thickness. Raman spectra and mapping over large areas of up to 100 × 100 μm² were used to investigate the structure and the defects of graphene films. Optimal conditions for graphene growth were an initial a-C film thickness of 2 nm and an annealing temperature of 900°C. Results showed that 76% of the optimized film contained graphene bilayers, and 18% of the optimized film contained graphene monolayers. A transmittance of 87% at 550 nm is observed without any transfer process from the SiO 2 substrate. This paper presents experimental guidelines for optimal synthesis conditions to control graphene growth by pulsed laser deposition.
