Abstract: A method of high-throughput printing and selective transfer of graphene onto a substrate includes the steps of: providing a thermal release tape having graphene adhered thereto; placing a substrate onto the graphene; pressing the thermal tape and the graphene against the substrate at a uniformly-distributed pressure; heating localized portions of the thermal tape and graphene using a localized heat source, thereby diminishing the adhesive properties of the thermal release tape in the localized portions and transferring graphene from said localized portions to the substrate; and separating the thermal release tape from the substrate. The method may include the further step of moving the localized heat source to selected positions on the thermal release tape during the heating step, thereby forming a pattern of heated portions. The method may use a laser beam as the localized heat source, movement of the laser beam being performed by a computer-controlled deflectable mirror.

Abstract: A method for fabricating large-area, high-quality Graphene product. Specifically, the fabrication method uses a seed layer of exfoliated Graphene in combination with a substrate and a catalyst metal layer and introduces Carbon atoms to the Graphene seed, causing growth of high-quality Graphene product. The method of the invention combines some steps of current mechanical exfoliation techniques with other steps of the CVD process and adds a new technique to the fabrication method involving seed-based catalyst of large-area Graphene product growth.

Abstract: The RTD device of the present invention is comprised of a semiconductor substrate and a substantially thin conductive metal layer disposed upon the semiconductor substrate, wherein the conductive metal has a substantially linear temperature-resistance relationship. The conductive layer is etched into a convoluted RTD pattern, which consequently increases the overall resistance and minimizes the overall mass of the RTD assembly. A contact glass cover and a conductive metal-glass frit are placed over the RTD assembly to hermetically seal the RTD. The resultant structure can be “upside-down” mounted onto a header or a flat shim so that the bottom surface of the semiconductor substrate is exposed to the external environment, thus shielding the RTD from external forces. The resultant structure is a low mass, highly conductive, leadless, and hermetically sealed RTD that accurately measures the temperature of liquids and gases and maintains fast response time in high temperatures and harsh environments.
