摘要: Epitaxial graphene (EG) on SiC is promising owing to a capability produce high-quality film wafer scale. One of the remaining issues microscopic thickness variation EG near surface steps, which induces variations in its electronic properties and device characteristics. We demonstrate here that layer are minimized by using microfabricated substrates spatially confines epitaxy. This technique will contribute realization highly reliable devices.
