A two-step, low-temperature thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, which uses camphor for synthesizing continuous graphene layer on Cu substrate is reported. The growth process was performed at lower temperature (800 degrees C) using camphor as the source of carbon. A three-zone CVD system was used for controlled heating of precursor, in order to obtain uniform graphene layer. As-grown samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show the presence of 4-5 layers of graphene. As-grown graphene transferred onto a glass substrate through a polymer-free wet-etching process, demonstrated transmittance similar to 91% in visible spectra. This process of synthesizing large area, 4-5 layer graphene at reduced temperature represents an energy-efficient method of producing graphene for possible applications in opto-electronic industry.
