Instrument Capabilities

The Aixtrom Black Magic is a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system dedicated to growing graphene. It can accommodate multiple samples or a single 4-inch wafer. Available gases include Ar, N₂, CH₄, and H₂. Optimized recipes on copper have been characterized to provide excellent monolayer coverage with minimal areas of bilayer formation.
