A bottom conducting layer is provided on the primary substrate. A top conducting layer is transferred from a secondary substrate to the primary substrate by using an insulating adhesive layer.

A region in which a value of G/G in Raman spectrometry is not less than 1.2 is not less than 10% in an area ratio in an exposed surface of the graphene film, the exposed surface being a main surface of the graphene film opposite to the substrate portion.

In an aspect of the present invention, a graphene field-effect transistor (GFET) structure is formed. The GFET structure comprises a wider portion and a narrow extension portion extending from the wider portion that includes one or more graphene layers edge contacted to source and drain contacts, wherein the source and drain contacts are self-aligned to the one or more graphene layers.
Silicon carbide semiconductor device including conductivity layer in trench
In a silicon carbide semiconductor device, a p-type SiC layer is disposed in a corner of a bottom of a trench. Thus, even if an electric field is applied between a drain and a gate when a MOSFET is turned off, a depletion layer in a pn junction between the p-type SiC layer and an n.sup. type drift layer greatly extends toward the n.sup. type drift layer, and a high voltage caused by an influence of a drain voltage hardly enters a gate insulating film. Hence, an electric field concentration within the gate insulating film can be reduced, and the gate insulating film can be restricted from being broken. In this case, although the p-type SiC layer may be in a floating state, the p-type SiC layer is formed in only the corner of the bottom of the trench. Thus, the deterioration of the switching characteristic is relatively low.
