Thus, although the conventional graphene fabrication method of chemical vapor deposition is widely used for the large - area synthesis of
graphene on copper and nickel films, the method is not suited for silicon microelectronics, as chemical vapor deposition would require a high growth temperature above 1,000 degrees Celsius and a subsequent transfer process of the graphene from the metallic film to the silicon.
These are images of early - stage growth of
graphene on copper.

They then peeled the
graphene - LED sheets off a
copper backing and placed them
on a pliable polymer — the beginnings of a bendy screen.
The study showed that seven - nanometer
copper particles deposited
on graphene doped with pyridinic nitrogen (an arrangement that causes nitrogen atoms to be bonded to two carbon atoms) had the best performance.
And if the combination of
graphene / boron nitride is applied

Like tiny superscrubbers, these charged molecules effectively scour the
copper of surface imperfections providing a pristine surface

graphene.
The researchers compared the effect of two different substrates
on the growth of the phosphorene nanoflake — a
copper substrate, commonly used for growing
graphene, which bonds with the phosphorene through strong chemical processes, and a hexagonal hydrogen boron nitride (h - BN) substrate that couples with the phosphorene via weak van der Waals bonds.
