Abstract

The structural, chemical, and electronic properties of epitaxial graphene films grown by thermal decomposition of the Si-face of a semi-insulating 6H-SiC substrate in an argon environment are studied by Raman spectroscopy, atomic-force microscopy, the low-energy electron diffraction method, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the carbon K edge. It is shown that the results of a systematic integrated study make it possible to optimize the growth parameters and develop a reliable technology for the growth of high-quality single-layer graphene films with a small fraction of bilayer graphene inclusions.

Interface-structure of the Si/SiC heterojunction grown on 6H-SiC

Journal Article Li, L. B., E-mail: xpu-lilianbi@163.com ; Department of Electronic Engineering, Xi'an University of technology, Xi'an ; Chen, Z. M. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The Si/SiC heterojunctions were prepared on 6H-SiC (0001) C-face by low-pressure chemical vapour deposition at 850 ∼ 1050 °C. Transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction were employed to investigate the interface-structure of Si/SiC heterojunctions. The Si/6H-SiC heterostructure of large lattice-mismatch follows domain matching epitaxy mode, which releases most of the lattice-mismatch strain, and the coherent Si epilayers can be grown on 6H-SiC. Si(1-11)/6H-SiC(0001) heterostructure is obtained at 900 °C, and the in-plane orientation relationship of Si/6H-SiC heterostructure is (1–11)[1-1-2]{sub Si}//(0001)[-2110]{sub 6H-SiC}. The Si(1-11)/6H-SiC(0001) interface has the same 4:5 Si-to-SiC matching mode with a residual lattice-mismatch of 0.26% along both the Si[1-1-2] andmore »« less

Direct growth of few-layer graphene on 6H-SiC and 3C-SiC/Si via propane chemical vapor deposition

Journal Article Michon, A. ; Vezian, S. ; Portail, M. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We propose to grow graphene on SiC by a direct carbon feeding through propane flow in a chemical vapor deposition reactor. X-ray photoemission and low energy electron diffraction show that propane allows to grow few-layer graphene (FLG) on 6H-SiC(0001). Surprisingly, FLG grown on (0001) face presents a rotational disorder similar to that observed for FLG obtained by annealing on (000-1) face. Thanks to a reduced growth temperature with respect to the classical SiC annealing method, we have also grown FLG/3C-SiC/Si(111) in a single growth sequence. This opens the way for large-scale production of graphene-based devices on silicon substrate.

First International High Temperature Electronics Conference

Conference Powell, J.A. ; Petit, J.B. ; Matus, L.G.

Improved SiC chemical vapor deposition films of both 3C and 6H polytypes were grown on vicinal (0001) 6H-SiC wafers cut from single-crystal boules. These films were produced from silane and propane in hydrogen at one atmosphere at a temperature of 1725 K. Among the more important factors which affected the structure and morphology of the grown films were the tilt angle of the substrate, the polarity of the growth surface, and the pregrowth surface treatment of the substrate. With proper pregrowth surface treatment, 6H films were grown on 6H substrates with tilt angles as small as 0.1 degrees. In addition,more »« less
Topological insulator Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3} thin films grown on double-layer graphene by molecular beam epitaxy

Journal Article Song Canli ; Jiang Yeping ; Chang Cuizu ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Atomically flat thin films of topological insulator Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3} have been grown on double-layer graphene formed on 6H-SiC(0001) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. By a combined study of reflection high energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy, we identified the Se-rich condition and temperature criterion for layer-by-layer growth of epitaxial Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3} films. The as-grown films without doping exhibit a low defect density of 1.0{+-}0.2x10{sup 11}/cm{sup 2}, and become a bulk insulator at a thickness of ten quintuple layers, as revealed by in situ angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurement.

Quasi-Freestanding multilayer graphene films on the carbon face of SiC

Journal Article Siegel, D. A. ; Hwang, C. G. ; Fedorov, A. V. ; ... - PHYSICAL REVIEW B

The electronic band structure of as-grown and doped graphene grown on the carbon face of SiC is studied by high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, where we observe both rotations between adjacent layers and AB-stacking. The band structure of quasi-freestanding AB-bilayers is directly compared with bilayer graphene grown on the Si-face of SiC to study the impact of the substrate on the electronic properties of epitaxial graphene. Our results show that the C-face films are nearly freestanding from an electronic point of view, due to the rotations between graphene layers.
