W.M. Keck foundation; NRI SWAN Center at UT-Austin ; Scaling graphene growth using an oven to heat large substrates becomes less energy efficient as system size is increased. We report a route to graphene synthesis in which radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields inductively heat metal foils, yielding graphene of quality comparable to or higher than that of current chemical vapor deposition techniques. RF induction heating allows for rapid temperature ramp up/down, with great potential for large scale and rapid manufacturing of graphene with much better energy efficiency. Back-gated field effect transistors on a SiO2/Si substrate showed carrier mobility up to similar to 14000 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) measured under ambient conditions. Many advantages of RF heating are outlined, and some fundamental aspects of this approach are discussed.
