Surface Evolution of 4H-SiC(0001) during In Situ Surface Preparation and its Influence on Graphene Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

The evolution of SiC surface morphology during graphene growth process has been studied through the comparison of substrate surface step structure after in-situ etching and graphene growth in vacuum. Influence of in-situ substrate surface preparation on the properties of graphene was studied through the comparison of graphene layers on etched and un-etched substrates grown under same conditions.
