Abstract

Abstract The direct synthesis of inherently defect‐free, large‐area graphene on flexible substrates is a key technology for soft electronic devices. In the present work, in situ plasma‐assisted thermal chemical vapor deposition is implemented in order to synthesize 4 in. diameter high‐quality graphene directly on 10 nm thick Ti‐buffered substrates at 100 °C. The in situ synthesized monolayer graphene displays outstanding stretching properties coupled with low sheet resistance. Further improved mechanical and electronic performances are achieved by the in situ multi‐stacking of graphene. The four‐layered graphene multi‐stack is shown to display an ultralow resistance of ≈6 Ω sq−1, which is consistently maintained during the harsh repeat stretching tests and is assisted by self‐p‐doping under ambient conditions. Graphene‐field effect transistors fabricated on polydimethylsiloxane substrates reveal an unprecedented hole mobility of ≈21 000 cm2 V−1 s−1 at a gate voltage of −4 V, irrespective of the channel length, which is consistently maintained during the repeat stretching test of 5000 cycles at 140% parallel strain.
