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 ${{it in-situ}}$ 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.

no journal, , 

Graphene, two-dimensional network of sp$$^{2}$$ carbon, is one of promising materials beyond CMOS, as described in the semiconductor roadmap. The major issue is a lack of reasonable process for epitaxial growth on substrates. In fact, current production methods, such as exfoliation from graphite and epitaxy on SiC single crystals, are not mass-productive. We are seeking the ways to develop graphene-on-silicon (3D-GOS) process to match recent trends of silicon technologies. One of key issues toward 3D-GOS is the formation of epitaxial graphene on main plane directions of silicon, such as (100), (110) and (111). In this article, large area epitaxy of graphene on Si(110), Si(100) and Si(111) is presented. The result must be a good news because it can open new and realistic ways to three-dimensionally fabricate graphene-based devices beyond CMOS.

We have succeeded to form graphene films from 3C-SiC layer on Si substrate by thermal annealing in vacuum (graphene on silicon technique:GOS). In this study, surface structures were observed by LEED and XPS methods to make clear the GOS formation mechanisms. SiC-1$$times$$1 LEED pattern was observed at 3C-SiC(111) surface on the Si substrate showing periodicity of bulk SiC. After graphene formation treatments of 1523 K thermal annealing for 30 min, graphene 1$$times$$1 pattern was observed showing periodicity of graphene. The graphene (1$$times$$1) spots were tilted by 30 deg comparing to the bulk SiC (1$$times$$1) spots. C1s-XPS observation revealed that a peak corresponding to sp$$^{2}$$ bonding increased with decreasing SiC bulk peak. Consequently, graphene formation from 3C-SiC on Si substrate is same as that on 6H-SiC(0001) substrate.

As the graphene, 2D-crystal of a carbon atomic layer, has a large mobility of 300000 cm$$^{2}$$/V/s, it is expected as a candidate for the next generation electronic device material. As to the practical use of graphene, a graphene-on-silicon (GOS) technique in which graphene is formed by thermal annealling on an silicon substrate covered by an SiC thin film. Since the anneal temperature is high as 1523-1573 K for the graphene formation in the former techniques including the GOS technique, such a high temperature technique is not introduced indeed in silicon device fabrication processes. We noticed a temperature-pressure phase diagram reported by Yongwei Song et al.. We have succeeded to form a graphene film on the SiC surface at a lower temperature of 1273 K by adding a bit of oxygen gas in the anneal atmosphere.

In this study, a graphene-on-silicon process was observed by LEED and XPS to make clear mechanisms. LEED patterns of SiC(1$$times$$1) and Si(RT3$$times$$RT3)R30$$^{circ}$$ were observed on the 3C-SiC(111) surface formed on the Si(111) surface. After the thermal annealing process at 1523 K for 30 min, a LEED pattern of graphene(1$$times$$1) was also observed. The graphene(1$$times$$1) pattern was tilted to the SiC(1$$times$$1) pattern by 30 deg as expected. The graphene formation process of 3C-SiC(111) on the Si(111) is the same as that of a 6H-SiC(0001) substrate. Comparing a C1s photoemission peak before and after the annealling process, a Cis peak corresponding to an sp$$^{2}$$ hybrid orbital appeared and a peak due to SiC bulk decreased. These facts reveal that a surface state transformation from SiC(1$$times$$1)(bulk state) to graphene(1$$times$$1)(graphene state) takes place even in the graphene-on-silicon process on Si(111) surface as well as the graphene formation process on the 6H-SiC(0001) substrate.

no journal, , 

The up-to-date industrial fabrication method of graphene is a epitaxial graphene method, in which graphene layers are formed on the SiC substrate after thermal annealing in the vacuum condition. This method, however, has a large disadvantage, that is, an SiC bulk substrate with a large size diameter is not available with low prices. We have succeeded to make graphene on the Si substrate by thermal annealing of a 3C-SiC ultra-thin layer (80-100 nm) formed epitaxially on the Si substrate in the vacuum conditions (Graphene-On-Silicon;GOS). In this study, in order to make clear mechanisms of the GOS formation processes, low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) have been applied to observe surface structures. Consequently, graphene formation processes from the 3C-SiC(111) layer on the Si(111) substrate has been found to be same as those on the 6H-SiC(0001) substrate.

Graphene layers could be formed firstly on an SiC thin film, which is fabricated on an Si substrate by a gas-source MBE method, by thermal annealing in vacuum (GOS structure). It should be controlled the interface between the SiC film and the graphene layers. In this study, relationships between chrystallographic symmetries of the Si substrate and the interface in the GOS structure were investigated. After an SiC(110), SiC(100), and SiC(111) surface is formed on the Si(110), Si(100), and Si(111) substrate, respectively, graphene layers were formed by thermal annealing of these SiC thin films up to 1523 K in vacuum. Photoemission spectroscopy of C1s core level with synchrotron radiation revealed that no interfacial layers are formed between the graphene and the SiC(110) and SiC(100) films while an interfacial layer is formed on the SiC(111) film.

We found that an SiC surface changed to a graphene film even at 1273 K in the oxygen gas ambient. As subsequent experiments, real-time photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation was applied to observe the graphene formation process in the ultra low pressure oxygen ambient. The 3C-SiC(111) surface, formed on the Si(111) surface using monomethylsilane, was used as a substrate. The real-time photoelectron spectroscopy was performed at BL23SU in the SPring-8. With increasing reaction time, a C1s photoelectron peak originated from sp$$^{2}$$ carbon increased. It reveals that a graphene film is formed on the SiC surface.

New technologies beyond Si-CMOS technologies are neccessary in the Si electronic device developments. Now, graphene is attracted as it has a large mobility. It is well known that a 6H-SiC substrate surface changes to graphene by thermal annealing in vacuum as Si atoms sublimate. On the other hand, we developed the graphene-on-silicon (GOS) method in which graphene is formed from 3C-SiC thin film on an Si substrate by thermal annealing in vacuum. In this report, graphene formation processes were observed by LEED for a 6H-SiC(0001) substrate and a 3C-SiC(111) surface. It was found that the graphene formation process on a 3C-SiC(111) surface proceeded through the same surface reconstruction structure with that of 6H-SiC(0001) substrate.

Formation of SiC thin layers on Si substrates followed by annealing converts the top surface into graphene (graphene on silicon;GOS). Normally, 3C-SiC(111), (110) and (100)-oriented layers are grown on Si(111), (110) and (100) substrates, respectively. Not only 3C-SiC(111) but also 3C-SiC(100) and (110) surfaces, epitaxial graphene layers were produced. The Raman spectra showed the same bands for the three orientations. Synchrotron-radiation X-ray photoelectron spectrum of C1s presented sp$$^{2}$$ carbon atoms for the three orientations. While no interfacial layers are formed on the SiC(100) and SiC(110), the interfacial layer does exist between the graphene and the SiC(111) film. 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.

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$$^{2}$$ 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.
