Two new furnaces have been built that
are now producing uniform graphene
films up to 1.7cm in diameter. This
new production method opens the way
for graphene grown on silicon carbide
to be scaled up for industrial
electronics fabrication.
New RF furnace design produces 1.7cm
diameter uniform graphene films.
