Carbon Layer and Method of Manufacture

摘要

A system and method for manufacturing a carbon layer is provided. An embodiment comprises depositing a first metal layer on a substrate, the substrate comprising carbon. A silicide is eptiaxially grown on the substrate, the epitaxially growing the silicide also forming a layer of carbon over the silicide. In an embodiment the carbon layer is graphene, and may be transferred to a semiconductor substrate for further processing to form a channel within the graphene.

1. A method comprising:
depositing a metal on a (111) substrate, the (111) substrate comprising a carbon-containing material; reacting the metal with the carbon-containing material by performing a first anneal on the metal and the (111) substrate to form a metal-containing compound layer and a graphene layer on the metal-containing compound layer distal from the (111) substrate; transferring the graphene layer to a device substrate; forming a gate electrode proximate the graphene layer on the device substrate; and forming a first contact and a second contact to the graphene layer on the device substrate, the first contact and the second contact being on opposite sides of the gate electrode.
