Graphene

Plasma can be applied to selectively etch and pattern graphene layers for use as electrodes and for electronic device fabrication. Graphene may also be plasma oxidized to introduce defects and increase surface hydrophilicity. Below are users' publications that report using our plasma instruments to treat graphene surfaces for various electronic, sensing, and mechanical applications.
