Processes for localized lasering of a lamination stack and graphene-coated printed circuit board (PCB) are disclosed. An example PCB may include a lamination stack, post-lamination, that may further include a core, an adhesive layer, and at least one graphene-metal structure. A top layer of graphene of the graphene-metal structure may have never been grown before the lamination process or may have been removed post-lamination such that a portion of the top layer of graphene is missing. The localized lasering process described herein may grow (for the first time) or re-grow the graphene layer of the exposed portion of the metal layer without adverse effects to the rest of the lamination stack or PCB and while promoting a uniform layer of graphene on the top surface. A process of growing graphene through application of molecular layer and a self-assembled monolayer (SAM), are also described herein.

A method for coating a metal workpiece with graphene includes exposing the metal workpiece to a carbon-containing precursor gas and a hydrogen gas in a processing chamber in a first phase, and to the carbon-containing precursor gas, the hydrogen gas and a first carrier gas in the processing chamber in a second phase after the first phase. A first flow rate of the carbon-containing precursor gas into the processing chamber is higher than a second flow rate of the carbon-containing precursor gas into the processing chamber, and a first flow rate of the hydrogen gas into the processing chamber is higher than a second flow rate of the hydrogen gas into the processing chamber. A first total gas pressure in the processing chamber in the first phase is lower than a second total gas pressure in the processing chamber in the second phase.

By widening a terrace on a crystal surface on a bottom face of a recess by step flow caused by heating, a flat face is formed on the bottom face of the recess, a two-dimensional material layer made of a two-dimensional material is formed on the formed flat face, and then a device made of the two-dimensional material layer is produced.

The invention belongs to the technical field of inorganic compounds, and particularly, relates to a method for directly preparing graphene by taking CBr.sub.4 as a source material and using methods such as molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A method for preparing graphene comprises the following steps: selecting a proper material as a substrate; directly depositing a catalyst and CBr.sub.4 on a surface of the substrate; and performing annealing treatment on the sample obtained through deposition. Compared with other technologies, an innovative point of the method in the invention is that the catalyst and CBr.sub.4 source can be quantitatively and controllably deposited on any substrate, and the catalyst and CBr.sub.4 source react on the surface of the substrate to form the graphene, so that the dependence of the graphene growth on a substrate material can be reduced to a great extent, and different substrate materials can be selected according to different application backgrounds.

Methods for forming a graphene film on a silicon carbide material are provided, along with the resulting coated materials. The method can include: heating the silicon carbide material to a growth temperature (e.g., about 1,000° C. to about 2,200° C.), and exposing the silicon carbide material to a growth atmosphere comprising a halogen species. The halogen species reacts with the silicon carbide material to remove silicon therefrom. The halogen species can comprise fluorine (e.g., SiF.sub.4, etc.), chlorine (e.g., SiCl.sub.4), or a mixture thereof.
