A large-area graphene layer identification technique was developed for research and industrial applications. It is based on the analysis of optical microscopy images using computational image processing algorithms. The initial calibration is performed with the micro-Raman spectroscopy. The method can be applied to the wafer-scale graphene samples. The technique has the potential to be the gateway in the development of fully automated statistical process control methods for the next generation thin-film materials used by the semiconductor industry. The proposed technique can be applied to graphene on arbitrary substrates and used for other atomically thin materials.

As the electronic industry moves towards few-nanometer-scale CMOS and 3D IC designs thermal management becomes crucially important for achieving high performance and reliability of advanced electronic chips. One approach for mitigating the self-heating problems is finding materials with very high thermal conductivity, which can be integrated with Si ICs or used as fillers in the next generation of the thermal interface materials (TIMs). In 2008, we discovered that graphene reveals extremely high intrinsic thermal conductivity, which can exceed that of bulk graphite. To measure the thermal conductivity of an object with a thickness of just one atomic layer, we developed an original experimental technique and applied it to graphene flake suspended across trenches in Si wafers. In this technique, the micro-Raman spectrometer performed the function of a thermometer measuring the local temperature rise from the shift in the spectral position of the Raman G peak. We explained the fact that the intrinsic thermal conductivity of graphene can be larger than that of graphite by the fundamental difference in the low-energy phonon transport in 2D graphene and 3D graphite. The extremely high thermal conductivity of “free” suspended graphene does not mean that it will be automatically preserved when graphene is incorporated inside semiconductor chips or composite TIMs. Thermal conductivity of graphene layers depends strongly on their geometrical size, coupling to the adjacent substrate or capping layers, edges roughness and defect concentration. I will overview the experimental and theoretical results for the thermal conductivity evolution of the few-layer graphene (FLG) considering two limiting cases of the phonon transport limited by the intrinsic and extrinsic effects. The use of graphene as interconnects and heat spreaders in advanced 2D and 3D computer chips will also be discussed. The last section of the talk will have a description of the data for graphene TIM materials. W

Design, fabrication, and testing results of a hydrogen gas sensor based on a surface modified high density and high aspect ratio 3-D carbon post microarray are described in this paper. After the conversion of photoresist patterns into carbon electrodes, the increased surface was conformally coated with a metal oxide semiconductor film by atomic layer deposition (ALD). A maximum sensitivity as high as 100 (R air / R hydrogen ) has been observed in the fabricated sensor even in the presence of moisture at low temperature. A fast initial response (90% resistance drop in 30 sec at 3000 ppm hydrogen) of the sensor could be utilized for early leak detection. The methodology of surface modification as well as the test result shows good promise for various chemical sensing devices based on the proposed strategy.

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in thermal properties of materials. This arises mostly from the practical needs of heat removal and thermal management, which have now become critical issues for the continuing progress in electronic and optoelectronic industries. Another motivation for the study of thermal properties at nanoscale is from a fundamental science perspective. Thermal conductivity of different allotropes of carbon materials span a uniquely large range of values with the highest in graphene and carbon nanotube and the lowest in amorphous or disordered carbon. Here we describe the thermal properties of graphene and carbon-based materials and analyze the prospects of applications of carbon materials in thermal management.

The paper present a multimode optical fiber based solar lighting and photovoltaic multifunctional device. TiO2, PbS and conducting polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) were coated on the optical core surface as active photovoltaic layers, with ITO and LiF/Al electrodes. The guided sunlight in the multi-moded fiber was totally internal reflected depending on the incident angle and the evanescent light mode from scattered radiation of light was absorbed by the active layer to generate the electric current. The optical-electrical behaviors such as the short circuit current, filling factor, and open circuit voltage were studied. Furthermore, optical loss and the evanescent field at the interface between the optical fiber core and ITO electrode thin layer was discussed in relation to the coupling light from the guiding medium to the devices. Comparison studies of chemical and physical thin film coating on optical fibers are discussed. In particular, we obtained in situ growth of quantum dot, composite electrolyte and plasmonic enhancement on TiO2. We have demonstrated waveguide like fiber device with photo current measurements and I-V characterizations. Furthermore, we have optimized the device transmission of visible light through total internal reflection, and PV conversion of evanescent light absorbed by solar active composite materials fabricated around optical fibers.
