Patent number: 12371810Abstract: To form graphene to a practically even thickness on an object having an uneven surface or a complex surface, in particular, an object having a surface with a three-dimensional structure due to complex unevenness, or an object having a curved surface. The object and an electrode are immersed in a graphene oxide solution, and voltage is applied between the object and the electrode. At this time, the object serves as an anode. Graphene oxide is attracted to the anode because of being negatively charged, and deposited on the surface of the object to have a practically even thickness. A portion where graphene oxide is deposited is unlikely coated with another graphene oxide. Thus, deposited graphene oxide is reduced to graphene, whereby graphene can be formed to have a practically even thickness on an object having surface with complex unevenness.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2024Date of Patent: July 29, 2025Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Teppei Oguni, Takeshi Osada, Toshihiko Takeuchi

Patent number: 12300820Abstract: Graphene is formed with a practically uniform thickness on an uneven object. The object is immersed in a graphene oxide solution, and then taken out of the solution and dried; alternatively, the object and an electrode are immersed therein and voltage is applied between the electrode and the object used as an anode. Graphene oxide is negatively charged, and thus is drawn to and deposited on a surface of the object, with a practically uniform thickness. After that, the object is heated in vacuum or a reducing atmosphere, so that the graphene oxide is reduced to be graphene. In this manner, a graphene layer with a practically uniform thickness can be formed even on a surface of the uneven object.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2023Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Teppei Oguni, Takeshi Osada, Toshihiko Takeuchi, Kuniharu Nomoto
