✦ Synopsis


An extended layer of defected SiC has been observed in SiC subjected to heat treatments at 850 and 1050 Β°C prior to growth of graphene by thermal decomposition. This layer is found to strongly affect the graphene thickness, surface morphology, and Raman spectrum of graphene grown on it. By comparing the strength of the XPS signal associated with this layer it was found that the samples with stronger defected layer signal had the least number of surface pits but also showed the increase in Raman D to G band ratio. The shifts in 2D and G peaks are associated with varying amounts of strain and unintentional doping induced by the SiC defected interface layer, respectively.

The role of 3C-SiC intermediate layers in III-nitride crystal growth has been studied by observing IIInitride epilayers grown on Si substrates. We found that better quality epilayers were obtained by using such intermediate layers than by direct growth on Si substrates. In the case of III-nitride ep
