Abstract

A method of producing large area continuous graphene directly on SiO2 by chemical vapor deposition is systematically developed. Cu thin film catalysts are sputtered onto the SiO2 and pre-patterned. During graphene deposition, high temperature induces evaporation and balling of the Cu, and the graphene “lands onto” SiO2. Due to the high heating and growth rate, continuous graphene is largely completed before the Cu evaporation and balling. 60 nm is identified as the optimal thickness of the Cu for a successful graphene growth and μm-large feature size in the graphene. An all-carbon device is demonstrated based on this technique.
