▎ 摘　　要

Graphene is a material with great promise for several applications within electronics. However, using graphene in any such application requires its integration in a stack of thin layers of materials. The ideal structure of graphene has a fully saturated surface without any binding sites for chemisorption of growth species, making film growth on graphene highly challenging. Herein, an attempt to deposit very thin layers of AlN using an atomic layer deposition approach is reported. It is demonstrated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy that Al-N are formed in the films deposited on graphene and shown by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy that the films have an island morphology. These results may be considered promising toward the development of a growth protocol for AlN on graphene and possibly also for 2D AlN fabrication.
