Critical Crystal Growth of Graphene on Dielectric Substrates at Low Temperature for Electronic Devices

Born at its final resting place: Moderate etching by a hydrogen plasma during plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition led to a critical equilibrium state of graphene edge growth in which graphene hexagonal single crystals or continuous graphene films were produced directly on dielectric substrates at 400 °C without a catalyst (see picture). The direct use of the resulting high-quality graphene in devices avoids troublesome transfer processes.
