A wide-bandgap metal–semiconductor–metal nanostructure made entirely from graphene
Present methods for producing semiconducting–metallic graphene networks suffer from stringent lithographic demands, process-induced disorder in the graphene, and scalability issues. Here we demonstrate a one-dimensional metallic–semiconducting–metallic junction made entirely from graphene. Our technique takes advantage of the inherent, atomically ordered, substrate–graphene interaction when graphene is grown on SiC, in this case patterned SiC steps, and does not rely on chemical functionalization or finite-size patterning. This scalable bottom-up approach allows us to produce a semiconducting graphene strip whose width is precisely defined to within a few graphene lattice constants, a level of precision beyond modern lithographic limits, and which is robust enough that there is little variation in the electronic band structure across thousands of ribbons. The semiconducting graphene has a topographically defined few-nanometre-wide region with an energy gap greater than 0.5 eV in an otherwise continuous metallic graphene sheet.
