Abstract

 


We report the synthesis of single and bi-layer graphene films by the low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) technique on Cu and Au substrates. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy techniques were used to characterize the films as they were produced. As evidenced by SEM and TEM, the growth of graphene takes place through surface adsorption. The large lateral area (1cm х 1cm) graphene deposited on Cu can easily be transferred on Si/SiO2. It has been shown that in Cu Substrate, it is adsorption of carbon on the substrate through which graphene gets formed. In the case of Au substrate both the adsorption and diffusion-precipitation lead to the growth of graphene.
