▎ 摘 要
A graphene/In2O3 bilayer (termed as GI-bilayer) is proposed as a transparent conducting electrode with remarkably improved areal-uniformity. To fabricate this new structure, an In2O3 layer with a thickness of less than 50 nm was grown by atomic layer deposition and then a graphene layer was grown by chemical vapor deposition and subsequently transferred onto the as-grown In2O3 layer. Electrical and optical properties of the GI-bilayer were systematically studied to verify effects of the underlying In2O3 layer. Hall measurements and following analysis showed a conductance enhancement of the GI-bilayer owing to p-type doping of graphene. Specifically, Raman analysis and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy were performed to prove p-type doping of the graphene in the GI-bilayer. In addition, the GI-bilayer exhibited the significantly improved uniformity of the sheet resistance compared to that of a conventional monolayer of graphene. There was a duality on the role of the In2O3 underlayer in the GI-bilayer. It acted as a dopant layer to the graphene and lowered the sheet resistance from 863 to 510 Omega/sq as well as compensated microscale defects on graphene. More importantly, the In2O3 underlayer resulted in the extremely reduced standard deviation of sheet resistance from 150 to 7.5 Omega/sq over the area of 49 cm(2).
