Abstract
Description

Graphene refers to a planar two-dimensional carbon structure that forms sp2 bonds, and has a high physical and chemical stability. At room temperature, electrons can move 100 times faster than silicon, and 100 times more current per unit area than copper. In addition, the thermal conductivity is more than two times higher than diamond, the mechanical strength is more than 200 times stronger than steel and has transparency.

As shown in FIG. 4, graphene layers re-grown (second growth, third growth) as a result of Raman spectroscopy of the graphene layer and the copper from which the graphene layer was removed by repeatedly performing a graphene growth process and a mechanical transfer process In the case of the first growth (first growth), as in the case of graphene, the G peak (peak) around Raman shift (Raman shift) 1580 cm -1 and the 2D peak around Raman shift 2700 cm -1 could be confirmed .
Thus, one of the most important advantages of the etch free mechanical transfer process according to one embodiment of the present invention is that it does not damage the substrate on which the copper catalyst layer is formed. Therefore, the copper substrate can additionally be reused for graphene growth and transfer processes.
Conventional wet chemical etching for removing a metal substrate after growing graphene on a metal substrate such as the copper substrate has been considered a necessary process for peeling the grown graphene from the metal substrate. However, this time-consuming etching process creates dangerous chemical wastes and can therefore be a serious cause of water contamination by copper solutions. In addition, the quality of graphene also tends to degrade when using this process. More importantly, the metal catalyst layer is removed by an etching process after one graphene transfer.
As described above, in the graphene manufacturing method according to the present invention, by performing such an etching-free mechanical transfer process it is possible to re-grow the high-quality single layer of graphene repeatedly without damaging the copper substrate, Graphene devices can be mass produced in a competitive and environmentally friendly way.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the following claims. It can be understood that it is possible.
