Abstract: A method for depositing a large-area graphene layer and an apparatus for continuous graphene deposition using the same are disclosed. The method can include forming a titanium (Ti) layer on a substrate by sputtering, reducing the titanium layer by spraying a reductant gas containing a hydrogen gas (H2) and a purge gas onto the titanium layer while moving in a first direction in relation to the substrate and exhausting the reductant gas and the purge gas. The method can also include forming graphene by spraying a reactant gas containing a graphene source and the purge gas onto the titanium layer while moving in a second direction opposite the first direction in relation to the substrate and exhausting the reactant gas and the purge gas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transfer-free method for producing a graphene thin film, which may form a high-quality graphene layer having excellent crystallinity on a substrate without a transfer process, and to a method of fabricating a device using the transfer-free method. More specifically, the present invention relates to a transfer-free method for producing a graphene thin film and a method for fabricating a device using the transfer-free method, the methods including the steps of: (A) forming a titanium buffer layer on a target substrate; and (B) growing a graphene thin film on the titanium buffer layer, wherein process are performed in an oxygen-free atmosphere throughout the steps (A) to (B).
