Problems solved by technology

Disadvantages: the growth process is difficult to control, and it is difficult to obtain large-scale uniform samples
Using this epitaxial growth method, although Graphene with high quality and large size can be obtained, there are many factors that make the area of ​​the grown Graphene too small and the uniformity is not high.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for graphene epitaxial growth on 4H-SiC silicon surface, mainly solving the problems of small graphene area and poor homogeneity during graphene epitaxial growth on the 4H-SiC silicon surface. The method is as follows: a 4H-SiC silicon surface is cleaned to remove organic remains and ionic contaminants on the surface; hydrogen and propane are led in to carry out hydrogen corrosion to the 4H-SiC silicon surface to remove surface scratches so as to form regular step-shaped stripes; silane is led in to remove oxide formed by hydrogen corrosion on the surface; under the circumstance of argon, silicon atoms are evaporated to ensure carbon atom to reconstruct and form epitaxial graphene in the form of sp<2> by heating. The invention can be used for manufacturing epitaxial graphene materials.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and relates to the manufacture of semiconductor materials, in particular to a method for preparing graphene by epitaxial growth on a 4H-SiC (0001) plane. Background technique [0002] The silicon-based microfabrication technology marked by integrated circuits has created the contemporary information society. It is generally believed that the processing limit of silicon material is 10nm line width. Restricted by physical principles, less than 10nm is unlikely to produce products with stable performance and higher integration. Therefore, the current technological progress on silicon materials will become more and more difficult, and people are pinning their hopes on the electronics of carbon-based materials. Carbon nanotubes were the first to attract attention because of their high mobility, high thermal conductivity, and good current capability, but carbon nanotubes are difficult and re...
