Systematic Analysis of The Potential for Graphene Electronics

Abstract

Graphene, a one-atom-thick carbon hexagonal layer has been earning increasing attention from scientist in almost every area by virtue of its extraordinary electronic and thermal properties under low energy circumstances. In this paper: the intrinsic electrical properties of high-purity graphene under experimental conditions are introduced and explained in details; Chemical vapor deposition method (CVD), one of the most advanced methods for the manufacturing of graphene of high quality, a method that uses carbon-containing gases as the precursors, which will decompose at high temperatures to release carbon elements, and metals that have appropriate catalytic activity such as copper, nickel, and platinum as substrates to enhance the adsorption and diffusion of carbon elements on the substrate surface is analysed in terms of both of its advantages and disadvantages the other challenges that the production of graphene is currently facing is given as well; The applications of graphene in superconductors and semiconductors, which are both one of the most characteristic use of graphene’s remarkable properties, are introduced in terms of their potential, recent breakthroughs, and estimated future. Estimations about the future development of graphene will be elaborated.
