Abstract

A method of fabricating multi-layered graphene includes disposing a first graphene layer on a carrier; disposing at least one second graphene layer on the first graphene layer to form a graphene sheet disposed on the carrier; and transferring the graphene sheet disposed on the carrier onto a substrate, wherein each of the graphene layers which constitute the graphene sheet has at least one damaged region, and the at least one damaged region of each of the graphene layers contacts at least one of non-damaged regions of a graphene layer or graphene layers, of the graphene layers, contacting the each of the graphene layers.

Claims (31)

1. A method of fabricating multi-layered graphene, the method comprising:

disposing a first graphene layer on a carrier;

disposing at least one second graphene layer on the first graphene layer to form a graphene sheet disposed on the carrier;

transferring the graphene sheet disposed on the carrier onto a substrate; and

removing the carrier;

wherein a surface roughness of the carrier is greater than a thickness of the first graphene layer and a thickness of the at least one second graphene layer.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carrier comprises polymer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carrier comprises a thermal release tape.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the transferring the graphene sheet onto the substrate comprises:

disposing a heated laminator on the carrier; and

compressing the carrier by using the heated laminator.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disposing the at least one second graphene layer comprises disposing N different graphene layers on the first graphene layer, and,

wherein the disposing the N different graphene layers comprises repeating following operations N times:

disposing one graphene layer on a catalyst metal layer;

disposing the one graphene layer, disposed on the catalyst metal layer, on the first graphene layer that is disposed on the carrier; and

removing the second catalyst layer, and

wherein N is a natural number equal to 2 or greater.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the carrier comprises at least one of polymer and a thermal release tape, and

wherein, in the disposing the at least one second graphene layer on the first graphene layer, the carrier is not used.

7. A method of fabricating multi-layered graphene, the method comprising the following steps in order:

(1) disposing a first graphene layer on a thermal release tape;

(2) disposing at least one second graphene layer on the first graphene layer disposed on the thermal release tape to form a graphene sheet disposed on the thermal release tape;

(3) transferring the graphene sheet disposed on the thermal release tape onto a substrate; and

(4) removing the thermal release tape,

wherein the step (4) is performed only once in the method, and

wherein a surface roughness of the thermal adhesive tape is greater than a thickness of the first graphene layer and a thickness of the at least one second graphene layer.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising laminating the first graphene layer and the at least one second graphene layer; the step of laminating comprising:

conveying a stacked structure including the first graphene layer and the at least one second graphene layer toward a laminator; and

integrating the first graphene layer and the at least one second graphene layer with one another using the laminator,

wherein the laminator radiates heat.
