Description
The
NIST Transfer of Graphene for Graphene-based Devices Grant Program (TGGD) is a
newly established effort to facilitate the development of scientific knowledge
and methodologies to transfer graphene from growth substrates in order to
further graphene device commercialization. The
NIST Transfer of Graphene for Graphene-based Devices Grant Program is seeking
applications from eligible applicants for research activities to determine
effective and efficient methods of transferring graphene grown on SiC
(secondarily copper or other chemical vapor deposition (CVD) substrates) to
target substrates that are required in many graphene-based devices, especially
for high-end applications.
The
characterization of graphene on said target substrates is necessary and will be
used to determine the quality of the resulting graphene. Characterization
techniques may include but are not limited to optical microscopy, confocal laser
scanning microscopy, SEM, TEM, AFM, and Raman spectroscopy. Quantifying and
minimizing defects induced during the transfer is critical to device
performance. The electronic, photonic, and other properties of transferred
graphene are also of interest. The program’s primary goal is for the recipient
to develop and publish a methodology for transferring large-area and
high-quality graphene with high reproducibility and scalability to enable
commercialization of graphene devices.
