In this study we examined the structural evolution of graphene grown on 8° off-axis 4H-SiC(0001) substrates at temperatures from 1600°C to 1700°C in Ar ambient. Morphological transformation of SiC substrate after annealing was examined by Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy. Moreover, by etching-out graphene layers from graphitized SiC substrates in selective trenches we determined the number of graphene layers. Numbers of graphene layers were then independently confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopy imaging. (c) (2011) Trans Tech Publications.

Abstract
In this study we examined the structural evolution of graphene grown on 8° off-axis 4H-SiC(0001) substrates at temperatures from 1600°C to 1700°C in Ar ambient. Morphological transformation of SiC substrate after annealing was examined by Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy. Moreover, by etching-out graphene layers from graphitized SiC substrates in selective trenches we determined the number of graphene layers. Numbers of graphene layers were then independently confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopy imaging. (c) (2011) Trans Tech Publications.File in questo prodotto:
