Layer-resolved Raman imaging and analysis of parasitic ad-layers in transferred graphene
Applied Surface Science(2023)
Abstract
In this report, we demonstrate an applied protocol for layer-resolved Raman imaging and analysis of undesirable ad-layers found in Chemical Vapor Deposition graphene grown on copper foil and transferred onto an oxidized silicon substrate. The method assumes that the intensity of the silicon-related Raman-active mode at 520 cm-1 is attenuated by 2.3 % each time the light passes through a single graphene layer. Upon normalization with respect to a reference graphene-free area, the 520 cm-1 mode relative intensity r-ISi measured in a back-scatter mode follows a univalent function of the number of the graphene layers N. Since N is treated as a continuous argument, it can be ascribed a fractional value and considered statistically. Importantly, the r-ISi offers higher layer differentiation capability and unambiguity than non-functional indicators, including the 2D band width or the 2D-to-G band intensity ratio, thus providing unequivocal evaluation.
