Method And Apparatus For Producing Ultra-Thin Graphitic Layers
view source
US Patent:

8460764, Jun 11, 2013
Filed:

Mar 4, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/397894
Inventors:

Walt A. de Heer - Atlanta GA, US
Xuebin Li - Santa Clara CA, US
Michael Sprinkle - Mableton GA, US
Assignee:

Georgia Tech Research Corporation - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

C23C 14/28
H05B 6/00
US Classification:

427595, 427591
Abstract:

In a method of producing ultra-thin graphitic layers, a carbide crystal is placed into a graphitic enclosure. The carbide crystal and the graphitic enclosure are placed into a chamber. The carbide crystal and the graphitic enclosure are subjected to a predetermined environment. Once the predetermined environment is established, the carbide crystal and the graphitic enclosure are heated to a first temperature for a predetermined period of time sufficient to cause at least one non-carbon element to evaporate from a crystal face of the carbide crystal so as to form at least one graphitic layer on the crystal face of the carbide crystal.

US Patent:

20090236609, Sep 24, 2009
Filed:

Sep 30, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/241555
Inventors:

Walt A. de Heer - Atlanta GA, US
Xiaosong Wu - Atlanta GA, US
Michael Sprinkle - Mableton GA, US
Claire Berger - Atlanta GA, US
Assignee:

GEORGIA TECH RESEARCH CORPORATION - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

H01L 29/24
H01L 21/31
H01L 21/311
US Classification:

257 77, 438694, 438765, 257E291, 257E2124, 257E21249
Abstract:

In a method of making a functionalized graphitic structure, a portion of a multi-layered graphene surface extending from a silicon carbide substrate is exposed to an acidic environment so as to separate graphene layers in a portion of the multi-layered graphene surface. The portion of the multi-layered graphene surface is exposed to a functionalizing material that binds to carbon atoms in the graphene sheets so that the functionalizing material remains between the graphene sheets, thereby generating a functionalized graphitic structure. The functionalized graphitic structure is dried in an inert environment.
