Sammanfattning
Characteristics of graphene when transferred using various adhesives have been investigated. The primary objective was to identify an adhesive capable of withstanding elevated temperatures common in photolithography (100-150°C) without
compromising graphene properties. The project consisted of three parts. First,
the graphene growth by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was optimized by adjusting gas flow rates during the process and input parameters such as time and
temperature. The quality of the graphene was examined at different regions of the
copper foil used as a catalyst in CVD. Second, the impact of different adhesives on
graphene doping and charge-carrier mobility was explored. Finally, the role of multilayer patches in graphene’s interaction with adhesives was discovered by applying
different adhesives to both sides of the graphene.
