Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon allotrope, a material that is being studied rapidly in recent years.
Graphene has very useful properties that differ from conventional materials. One notable feature is that when electrons move in graphene, they flow as if the mass of the electrons is zero. This means that the electrons flow at the speed at which light in the vacuum moves, ie at the speed of light. Graphene has an electron mobility of up to 200,000 cm2 / Vs. Graphene exhibits an unusual half-integer quantum Hall effect on electrons and holes, and a fractional quantum Hall effect when suspended in the air.
In addition, since the graphene has an electrical characteristic that changes according to the crystal orientation of the graphene having a given thickness, the user can express the electrical characteristic in a selection direction and thus can easily design the device. The electrical properties of these graphenes are in contrast to carbon nanotubes (CNTs), in which the metallic and semiconducting electrical properties vary depending on chirality and diameter. In the case of CNTs, the process of separating the CNTs in order to use specific semiconductor and metal properties is difficult. In addition, graphene is advantageous in terms of economics as compared to CNTs that undergo purification after synthesis. Therefore, graphene may be effectively used for carbon-based electrical or electromagnetic devices.
Graphene has excellent impact resistance and flexibility than oxide transparent electrodes such as ITO materials, and has high transparency and high electrical conductivity.

According to the present embodiment, the repulsive force is used as a force for keeping the first conductive film and the second conductive film at a predetermined interval constant.
An example of a method for forming graphene is to form by chemical vapor deposition. Specific methods of forming graphene using chemical vapor deposition are as follows.
First, a silicon wafer having a silicon oxide (SiO 2) layer is prepared. Subsequently, a metal catalyst such as Ni, Cu, Al, Fe, or the like is deposited on the prepared silicon oxide (SiO 2) layer using a sputtering apparatus, an e-beam evaporator, or the like to form a metal catalyst layer. do.
Next, a silicon wafer and a carbon-containing gas (CH 4, C 2 H 2, C 2 H 4, CO, etc.) having a metal catalyst layer formed thereon for thermal chemical vapor deposition and inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). By heating in the reactor, carbon is absorbed into the metal catalyst layer. Then, graphene is grown by rapidly cooling to separate carbon from the metal catalyst layer to crystallize it.
The grown graphene is subjected to separation and transfer for use. For this purpose, a method such as etching is usually used for separation.
