Background
Graphene is a two-dimensional film composed of carbon atoms and having a honeycomb structure. Due to excellent electron mobility, thickness of a monoatomic layer and ultrahigh mechanical strength, the material is considered to have wide application prospects in a plurality of fields such as information technology, semiconductors, biosensing, energy and environmental protection.
In the field of semiconductor technology, graphene is considered to be a possible base material for next-generation semiconductor technology instead of silicon due to its excellent electrical properties.
