▲ [16p-315-7] Single-nanometer patterning of graphene by HIM for advanced applications
Keywords:graphene, helium ion beam, single-nanometer patterning
We report on the large-array processing of 100 nm wide monolayer CVD based suspended graphene structures by using focused helium ion beam. A ~6 nm wide suspended graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are fabricated with electrical contacts, and the electrical transport characteristics are discussed along with their potential impact on the performance of graphene-NEMS-based single-molecular detection. We also demonstrate 9x9 arrays of 3-4 nanometer pores with pitch of ~9 nm patterned on suspended GNRs. The possibility of their application to nanoscale heat phonon engineering will be discussed.
