In the middle of the last decade, scientists first time succeeded in graphene - a two-dimensional carbon allotropes. This material has amazing properties like high thermal conductivity and high charge carrier mobility, which suggests the applicability of graphene in electronics and even its ability to replace silicon in integrated circuits.
One of the most serious challenges to graphene electronics are material production technology. Existing methods allow to make small areas of graphene, which can then be spliced. While suffer material properties that effectively deprives its continued use sense.
Samsung's Sungkyunkwan University, has made progress in the production of large area graphene. Researchers have learned how to grow graphene on a semiconductor substrate, the details of the process will be published in Science Magazine and publications ScienceExpress.
