Interface structure of epitaxial graphene grown on 4H-SiC(0001)

Abstract: We present a structural analysis of the graphene-4HSiC͑0001͒ interface using surface x-ray reflectivity. We find that the interface is composed of an extended reconstruction of two SiC bilayers. The interface directly below the first graphene sheet is an extended layer that is more than twice the thickness of a bulk SiC bilayer ͑ϳ1.7 Å compared to 0.63 Å͒. The distance from this interface layer to the first graphene sheet is much smaller than the graphite interlayer spacing but larger than the same distance me… Show more

“…Graphene grown in vacuum on the C-face of SiC{0001} has ≈50 nm size domains also with considerable rotational disorder, although this disorder only extends over about 10% of the total possible range of rotational angles (judging from the width of the diffraction streaks that extend over ≈3° of a 30° sector). 26,27 To fully exploit the nonlinear I-V curve found for the doped GIG tunnel junction, it is desirable to fashion it into some sort of three-terminal device. This can be accomplished simply by putting the GIG junction between two additional gate electrodes, in a geometry identical to that used in the BiSFET 5 (or, with chemical doping of the GIG electrodes as described above, then just a single gate electrode above or below the GIG junction would likely suffice).…”

“…On the C-face, larger domains (*200 nm) of multilayered, rotationally disordered graphene are produced [167,168]. On the Si-face, UHV annealing leads to small domains, *30-100 nm [168,169]. (Si (0001)-and C (000-1)-terminated) annealed at high T ([1000°C) under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) graphitize due to the evaporation of Si [170,171].…”

“…22,31,[45][46][47][48][49] The growth proceeds from step edges, with the decomposing layers first forming a (6√3x 6√3)R30° carbon rich surface reconstruction known as the "buffer layer" or "layer 0." 32,45,46,48,50 The exact atomic structure of layer 0 is not known experimentally, but the carbon density is very close to that of a graphene monolayer.…”
