High-throughput Solution Processing of Large Scale Graphene for Device Applications

		By Bob Nidever in Latest Inventions Published: Friday, 31 October 08 - 11:42 PM (GMT)

UCLA scientists have developed a novel, high-throughput processing technique that produces large sheets of graphene nanofabric. This innovation will enable large scale integration of graphene as a substitute for silicon in electronics.

Researchers at UCLA have developed a novel solution process for the large-scale production of single layered graphene. The resulting graphene sheets have the largest area yet reported by an order of magnitude, resulting in significantly easier processing. Field effect devices were also fabricated by conventional photolithography that displayed currents that were 3 orders of magnitude higher than any every observed for chemically produced graphene. This versatile technique reproducibly produces large graphene sheets, enabling a vast array of applications. MORE [2008-422]
