Problems solved by technology

However, electron beam lithography technology can achieve precise control and a certain degree of repeatability. The limit size is above 20nm, and cannot reach below 10nm.
In addition, the electron beam resist used for electron beam exposure is easy to remain on the surface of graphene, which is not easy to remove, and the remaining electron beam resist will affect the performance of graphene devices

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a nano-scale graphene structure and relates to the field of graphene semi-conductor devices. The method comprises specific steps as follows: a metal chromium film is evaporated on the surface of graphene with a substrate; the surface of the metal chromium film is spin-coated with an electron beam resist; an electron beam lithography technique is adopted, a corresponding pattern is exposed on the electron beam resist, and a nano-scale structural pattern is formed on the electron beam resist through developing and fixation; the metal chromium film is etched with the electron beam resist used as a first mask, and a corresponding nano-scale structural pattern is formed on the metal chromium film; the graphene is etched with the metal chromium film used as a second mask, and the size of the graphene can be controlled by controlling etching parameters; the remaining metal chromium film is removed by means of a chromium corrosive liquid, and accordingly, the clean nano-scale graphene structure without impurities is obtained. With the adoption of the method, the feature size of the graphene structure can be controlled under 10 nm, and direct contact of the graphene with the electron beam resist can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of graphene semiconductor devices, in particular to a method for preparing a nanoscale graphene structure. Background technique [0002] Due to its excellent properties, such as ultra-high carrier mobility, monoatomic layer thickness, and high mechanical strength, graphene has good potential application value in the field of semiconductors in the future, and has attracted widespread attention. However, since graphene itself has no band gap, in order to realize the application of graphene in the semiconductor field, the problem of opening the band gap must first be solved. The current common method is to cut graphene into nanoribbons. However, the scale of nanobelts generally needs to be below 10nm to realize the application of room temperature semiconductors. [0003] At present, graphene structures with a width of less than 10 nm can be prepared by block copolymer photolithography, but this method is limited by the...
