A single-layer graphene has been uniformly grown on a Cu surface at elevated temperatures by thermal processing of a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film in a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) system under vacuum. The detailed chemistry of the transition from solid-state carbon to graphene on the catalytic Cu surface was investigated by performing in situ residual gas analysis while PMMA/Cu-foil samples were being heated, in conjunction with interrupted growth studies to reconstruct ex situ the…

Facile synthesis of few-layer graphene with a controllable thickness using rapid thermal annealing.
TLDR
It was found that the evaporation of oxygen atoms from the surface is the dominant factor affecting the formation of graphene films, and the resulting films have a limited thickness, even for an extended RTA time.

TLDR
It is shown that the transformation of the energetically less favorable amorphous carbon to the more favorable phase of graphene occurs by diffusion of carbon atoms through the catalytically active metal.
