Title: The Line Speed Effect in Roll-to-Roll Dry Transfer of Chemical Vapor Deposition Graphene,
A roll-to-roll (R2R) technique is especially desirable for transfer of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene towards high-speed, low-cost, renewable, and environmentally friendly manufacturing of graphene-based electronic devices, such as flexible touchscreens, field effect transistors and organic solar cells. A R2R graphene dry transfer system is recently developed. Monolayer graphene is transferred from a copper growth substrate to a polymer backing layer by mechanical peeling. In this work, we present an experimental study to examine the effects of line speed of the mechanical peeling process on the transferred graphene quality. It is shown that the effect of line speed is not monotonic, and an optimal speed exists to yield the highest and most consistent electrical conductivity of transferred graphene among the process conditions studied. This study provides understanding of process parameter effects and demonstrates the potential of the R2R dry transfer process for large-scale CVD graphene toward industrial applications.  more » « less

    A major challenge of the large-scale application of two-dimensional (2D) materials is the scaling up of the process for its growth and transfer. Mechanical peeling has been demonstrated to be a promising method for transferring graphene in a fast and environmentally friendly manner. However, efforts in scaling up the process have been lacking. Performing mechanical peeling using a roll-to-roll (R2R) system could significantly increase the throughput of graphene transfer. Such a R2R process does not exist in industry. In this paper a novel R2R mechanical peeling system that has both speed and tension control capabilities is presented. Controllers that control the peeling tensions on both sides of the peeling front are developed based on a tension dynamics model. Both controllers contain a feedback and a feedforward term to account for large steady-state error. The control performance is validated using both experiments and simulation, demonstrating that the R2R mechanical peeling technique can be a viable method for dry transfer of 2D materials in a high-throughput industrial setting.

    Abstract

    A major challenge for graphene applications is the lack of mass production technology for large‐scale and high‐quality graphene growth and transfer. Here, a roll‐to‐roll (R2R) dry transfer process for large‐scale graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition is reported. The process is fast, controllable, and environmentally benign. It avoids chemical contamination and allows the reuse of graphene growth substrates. By controlling tension and speed of the R2R dry transfer process, the electrical sheet resistance is achieved as 9.5 kΩ sq−1, the lowest ever reported among R2R dry transferred graphene samples. The R2R dry transferred samples are used to fabricate graphene‐based field‐effect transistors (GFETs) on polymer. It is demonstrated that these flexible GFETs feature a near‐zero doping level and a gate leakage current one to two orders of magnitude lower than those fabricated using wet‐chemical etched graphene samples. The scalability and uniformity of the R2R dry transferred graphene is further demonstrated by successfully transferring a 3 × 3 in2sample and measuring its field‐effect mobility with 36 millimeter‐scaled GFETs evenly spaced on the sample. The field‐effect mobility of the R2R dry transferred graphene is determined to be 205 ± 36 cm2 V−1.

    Abstract Roll-to-roll (R2R) dry transfer is an important process for manufacturing of large-scale two-dimensional (2D) materials and printed flexible electronics. Existing research has demonstrated the feasibility of dry transfer of 2D materials in a roll-to-roll setting with mechanical peeling. However, the process presents a significant challenge to system control due to the lack of understanding of the mechanical peeling behavior and the complexity of the nonlinear system dynamics. In this study, an R2R peeling process model is developed to understand the dynamic interaction among the peeling process parameters, including adhesion energy, peeling force, angle, and speed. Both simulation and experimental studies are conducted to validate the model. It is shown that the dynamic system model can capture the transient behavior of the R2R mechanical peeling process and be used for the process analysis and control design.

    Abstract

    A roll‐to‐roll (R2R) transfer technique is employed to improve the electrical properties of transferred graphene on flexible substrates using parylene as an interfacial layer. A layer of parylene is deposited on graphene/copper (Cu) foils grown by chemical vapor deposition and are laminated onto ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)/poly(ethylene terephthalate). Then, the samples are delaminated from the Cu using an electrochemical transfer process, resulting in flexible and conductive substrates with sheet resistances of below 300 Ω sq−1, which is significantly better (fourfold) than the sample transferred by R2R without parylene (1200 Ω sq−1). The characterization results indicate that parylene C and D dope graphene due to the presence of chlorine atoms in their structure, resulting in higher carrier density and thus lower sheet resistance. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the binding energy between parylene and graphene is stronger than that of EVA and graphene, which may lead to less tear in graphene during the R2R transfer. Finally, organic solar cells are fabricated on the ultrathin and flexible parylene/graphene substrates and an ultra‐lightweight device is achieved with a power conversion efficiency of 5.86%. Additionally, the device shows a high power per weight of 6.46 W g−1with superior air stability.

    Roll-to-roll(R2R) peeling is an innovative method that transfers flexible electronics and 2D materials from the flexible substrate where they are grown to the end-use substrate. This process enables the full potential of R2R 2D material fabrication methods in a continuous, high-throughput, and environment friendly manner. During the R2R peeling process, the device patterning causes periodic changes in the adhesion energy between the device and substrate. This periodic disturbance can degrade the quality of the final product if not properly controlled. Current control methods used for the R2R peeling process do not explicitly reject the periodic disturbance. It is therefore desirable to develop a controller that is capable of performing periodic disturbance rejection. This paper presents a model-based repetitive controller that integrates a frequency estimation of the disturbance into the R2R peeling control to maintain the optimal peeling process performance. A linear estimator using system identification techniques is employed. The simulation results show that the developed controller achieves better R2R process performance when compared to a conventional model-based controller.
