What Is a Graphene Wafer?
A graphene wafer is a substrate coated with one or more atomically thin layers of graphene—a two-dimensional sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Just one atom thick, graphene exhibits extraordinary electrical conductivity, exceptional carrier mobility, outstanding mechanical strength, and excellent thermal conductivity. These unique properties make graphene one of the most extensively studied materials for next-generation semiconductor devices, flexible electronics, photonics, quantum technologies, and energy storage systems.
Graphene can be synthesized using several techniques, with chemical vapor deposition (CVD) being the most common method for producing large-area, high-quality graphene films. After growth, graphene is transferred onto substrates such as silicon, silicon dioxide (SiO2), quartz, sapphire, copper, or flexible polymers depending on the intended application.
