Innovative graphene transfer method developed using Moorfield nanoCVD-8G
A team at Warwick University have developed an innovative new approach for transferring graphene from growth to application substrates. The new method results in less contamination and is faster than conventional methods. Prof. Patrick Unwin, who leads the team, commented: “this exciting progress provides a new approach for moving CVD graphene onto application substrates, which is currently […]

Versatile polymer-free graphene transfer method and applications
Zhang, G., et al. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces 2007 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.6b00681 A new procedure for transferring graphene from growth substrates (e.g., copper foil) is described. The method involves placing post-growth substrates (produced here using a Moorfield nanoCVD-8G system) at an interface between immiscible hexane and an aqueous etching solution. The etching solution removes the […]
Chemical vapor deposited graphene for opto-electronic applications
Passi, V. et al. Journal of Nano Research 2016 DOI: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/JNanoR.39.57 Fabrication and characterisation of graphene photodiodes and transfer length method structures is presented. Graphene growth is carried out using a nanoCVD-8G system from Moorfield. Graphene is produced on copper foils and subsequently transferred onto silicon-dioxide/silicon substrates. Comparison of electrical and optical characteristics of the […]
Spectral sensitivity of graphene/silicon heterojunction photodetectors
Riazimehr, S., et al. Solid-State Electronics 2015 DOI: 10.1016/j.sse.2015.08.023 Two-dimensional (2D) Schottky photodiode heterojunctions are formed from CVD graphene on n- and p-type silicon (Si) substrates. The CVD graphene was made using a nanoCVD-8G. Rectification behavior is improved using diodes fabricated on n-Si substrates in comparison with devices on p-Si substrates in dark condition. Also, […]

Transparent conductive graphene textile fibers
Neves, A. I. S., et al. Scientific Reports 2015 DOI: 10.1038/srep09866 Graphene, produced using a nanoCVD-8G, is transferred to fibers for the first production of flexible, fully-embedded textile electrodes. The high quality of the graphene means the electrodes have ultra-low sheet resistance and high mechanical stability. Link: http://www.nature.com/articles/srep09866 Moorfield products: nanoCVD-8G
