In this work, we explore the possibility of growing graphene on AlN/Si(111) templates. Using a chemical vapor deposition process with propane as the carbon source, we have obtained graphitic films (from 2 to 10 graphene layers) on AlN/Si(111) while preserving the morphology of the AlN layer beneath the graphitic film. This study is an important step for the integration of graphene with semiconductors other than SiC. |
