Description
The present invention relates to a component used in a transmission electron microscope, and more particularly, to a grid structure for fixing a sample of a transmission electron microscope and a manufacturing method thereof.
An electron microscope is a device that enlarges an object using an electron beam instead of light, and has a much higher resolution and magnification than an optical microscope. In particular, a transmission electron microscope (TEM) can magnify a sample by 1,000 times or more, and can obtain structural information of a sample by using a diffraction pattern.
The sample to be analyzed is fixed on the grid structure. Typically the grid structure consists of a grid mesh woven of metal wires in the form of strings and blades. The spacing between the metal wires should be at least smaller than the diameter of the sample. Therefore, when the sample is a nanometer (nm) scale ultra-fine material, the grid mesh must also be woven at extremely fine intervals corresponding to the size of the sample, which is difficult to manufacture and expensive.
An object of the present invention is to provide a grid structure for transmission electron microscopy and a method of manufacturing the same, which stably supports an ultrafine sample without woven the grid mesh at extremely fine intervals, thereby facilitating observation of the ultrafine sample.
Grid structure for transmission electron microscopy according to an embodiment of the present invention is a grid mesh woven in the form of a grid, a graphene film positioned on the grid mesh to support the sample, and fixed to fix the edges of the grid mesh and graphene film It includes a holder.
The graphene film may include at least one of monolayer graphene, bilayer graphene, and multilayer graphene. At least two of the single layer graphene, the double layer graphene, and the multilayer graphene may be partially present on the graphene film.
In the method of manufacturing a grid structure for transmission electron microscopy according to an embodiment of the present invention, forming a metal catalyst on a silicon wafer on which a silicon oxide film is formed, and forming graphene on the metal catalyst using a thermochemical vapor deposition process. Synthesizing to form a graphene film, separating the graphene film from the metal catalyst, and transferring the graphene film onto the grid mesh.
The metal catalyst may include any one of a nickel (Ni) catalyst formed by electron beam deposition and a copper (Cu) catalyst in the form of a foil.
In the graphene film forming step, the silicon wafer on which the metal catalyst is formed is charged into a quartz tube, the inside of the quartz tube is vacuumed, and a mixed gas of argon (Ar) and hydrogen (H 2 ) is flowed to atmospheric pressure, Graphene may be synthesized by heating the inside of the quartz tube to a synthesis temperature and then inputting a source gas.
The method of manufacturing the grid structure may further include heat treating the metal catalyst before heating to a synthesis temperature and introducing the source gas. Heat treatment of the metal catalyst may be carried out for 5 to 60 minutes at a temperature of 900 ℃ to 1,100 ℃.
Graphene may be synthesized for 1 to 30 minutes at a synthesis temperature of 900 ℃ to 1,100 ℃. In the graphene synthesis, the source gas is methane (CH 4 ), and methane (CH 4 ) gas and hydrogen (H 2) gas may be introduced at a flow rate of 1 sccm to 30 sccm: 1500 sccm.
The method of manufacturing the grid structure may further include cooling the silicon wafer, the metal catalyst, and the graphene film after graphene synthesis. Argon (Ar) gas is injected into the quartz tube in the cooling step, the cooling rate may be 2 ℃ / min to 8 ℃ / min.
In the graphene film separation step, the silicon oxide film may be etched to separate the silicon wafer from the graphene film and the metal catalyst, and the graphene film may be left by removing the metal catalyst using an etchant of the metal catalyst.
In the transferring of the graphene film, the graphene film floating in the etchant of the metal catalyst may be collected and transferred onto the grid mesh.
In the present invention, by using a graphene film as a sample support instead of the grid mesh, it is possible to prevent the nanometer (nm) scale ultra-fine sample from escaping between the grid mesh, and to maintain the focal plane to maintain an accurate focal plane High resolution images of fine samples can be obtained.

4 is a graph showing the Raman spectrum measurement results of the graphene film of the completed grid structure. Raman analysis is one of the analysis techniques that can distinguish the number of layers of graphene, referring to FIG. 4, it can be seen that single layer graphene and double layer graphene exist in the synthesized graphene film.
FIG 1,350cm -1 in the graph 4, 1,600cm -1, 2,700cm were three major peaks occur near 1, it is called a D-band, respectively, G-band, and G '(2D) band.
The D band is a peak due to sp3 type carbon bonds and is related to defects such as amorphous carbon or broken carbon-carbon bonds that may be present in carbon bodies such as carbon nanotubes and graphene. The G band is the peak associated with molecular vibrations between the carbon-carbon bonds of the carbon bodies with sp2 bonds. The G 'band is a peak due to secondary scattering in which two D-band phonons are emitted in an overtone of the D-band (2nd harmonic mode) .In the case of single-layer graphene, a single Lorentzian profile has a sharp left-right symmetrical shape Peaks appear.
In addition, the number of layers of graphene can be predicted from the intensity ratio of the G band and G 'band peaks. In the single layer graphene, the intensity of the G 'band peak appears higher than the G band peak, and the difference decreases as the number of layers increases. In the case of the multilayer graphene, the intensity of the G band peak is greater than that of the G' band peak.

FIG. 7 is a transmission electron microscope (TEM) image showing a state where carbon nanotubes are disposed on an amorphous carbon film instead of a graphene film as a comparative example of the present embodiment.

It can be confirmed. This difference in performance applies equally not only to carbon nanotubes, but also to all ultrafine samples on the nanometer (nm) scale.
