Graphene has attracted much attention as a promising material in electronics and photonics. The graphitization temperature of 1473 K or higher of graphene-on-silicon(GOS), however, is still too high to be fully compatible with the Si technology. Here, the first application of Ni-assisted formation of graphene to the GOS method was reported. We demonstrate that the graphene formation temperature can be reduced by more than 200 K by this method. Moreover, solid-phase reactions during heating/annealing/cooling procedures have been investigated in detail by using synchrotron-radiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As a result, we clarify the role of Ni/SiC reactions, in which not only Ni silicidation and but also Ni carbonization is suggested as a key process in the formation of graphene.

By forming an SiC thin film on Si substrates and by thermally converting the film top surface into graphene, a graphene layer can be epitaxially formed on the Si substrates (graphene on silicon;GOS). In this method, epitaxial SiC thin films are first grown on the silicon substrate by using gas source molecular beam epitaxy. Normally, 3C-SiC(111), (110) and (100)-oriented films are grown on Si(111), (110) and (100) substrates, respectively. The surface of SiC thin films is then thermally graphitized by annealing at 1523 K in UHV to sublimate Si atoms. Not only 3C-SiC(111) but also (100) and (110) surfaces, produced epitaxial graphene as well. The Raman spectra show distinct D, G and G' bands for all these orientations. Synchrotron-radiation X-ray photoelectron spectrum of C1s presents sp carbons atoms. The observation of the equally successful growth of graphene on these low-index SiC surfaces makes the GOS technology aviable in the post-Si device developments.
