AbstractA technical trend for a-Si TFTs is their application to large-size, high-pixel density AMLCDs such as XGA, EWS, and HDTV. In order to realize these LCDs, the TFT device characteristics must be improved. Future technologies, which will be necessary to fabricate TFTs with improved characteristics are as follows,(1) Fully self-aligned TFT technology: A SA-TFT structure reduces the feedthrough voltage caused by parasitic capacitance due to gate/source overlap. This results in an improved picture quality and a higher aperture ratio. Fabrication of such a structure would require ion doping technology.(2) Ion doping technology: This non-mass-separated implantation technique has large area doping capability and much higher doping speed compared to conventional ion implantation technique. The major problems with the ion doping technique is the implantation of unwanted species which deteriorate the quality of source/drain and channel regions of TFTs.

The competition between quality and productivity has been a major issue for large-scale applications of two-dimensional materials (2DMs). Until now, the top-down mechanical cleavage method has guaranteed pure perfect 2DMs, but it has been considered a poor option in terms of manufacturing. Here, we present a layer-engineered exfoliation technique for graphene that not only allows us to obtain large-size graphene, up to a millimeter size, but also allows selective thickness control. A thin metal film evaporated on graphite induces tensile stress such that spalling occurs, resulting in exfoliation of graphene, where the number of exfoliated layers is adjusted by using different metal films. Detailed spectroscopy and electron transport measurement analysis greatly support our proposed spalling mechanism and fine quality of exfoliated graphene. Our layer-engineered exfoliation technique can pave the way for the development of a manufacturing-scale process for graphene and other 2DMs in electronics and optoelectronics.

Introduction In electron microscopic investigations of crystalline specimens the direct observation of the electron diffraction pattern gives additional information about the specimen. The quality of this information depends on the quality of the crystals or the crystal area contributing to the diffraction pattern. By selected area diffraction in a conventional electron microscope, specimen areas as small as 1 µ in diameter can be investigated. It is well known that crystal areas of that size which must be thin enough (in the order of 1000 Å) for electron microscopic investigations are normally somewhat distorted by bending, or they are not homogeneous. Furthermore, the crystal surface is not well defined over such a large area. These are facts which cause reduction of information in the diffraction pattern. The intensity of a diffraction spot, for example, depends on the crystal thickness. If the thickness is not uniform over the investigated area, one observes an averaged intensity, so that the intensity distribution in the diffraction pattern cannot be used for an analysis unless additional information is available.
