Trickle-Down Graphene: An Economical Production Mechanism

Trickle-Down Graphene: An Economical Production Mechanism

By making carbon leak (trickle-down) through the cracks of a metal, researchers have produced graphene directly on a substrate. This versatile process enables graphene to be economically grown on almost any semiconducting or dielectric substrate of relevance to the electronic industry.
