Patent number: 12469699Abstract: Systems and methods for growth of silicon carbide over a layer comprising graphene and/or hexagonal boron nitride, and related articles, are generally described. In some embodiments, a SiC film is fabricated over a layer comprising graphene and/or hexagonal boron nitride, which in turn is disposed over a substrate. The layer and/or the substrate may be lattice-matched with the SiC film to reduce defect density in the SiC film. The fabricated SiC film may then be removed from the substrate via, for example, a stressor attached to the SiC film. In certain cases, the layer serves as a reusable platform for growing SiC films and also serves a release layer that allows fast, precise, and repeatable release at the layer surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2023Date of Patent: November 11, 2025Assignees: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Government of the United States of America, as Represented by the Secretary of the Navy, ROHM Co., Ltd.Inventors: Rachael L.
