Description

Preparation method of graphene functionalized silicon-based probe
Technical Field
The invention relates to a functional material, in particular to a preparation method of a graphene functionalized silicon-based probe.
Background
In recent years, graphene has attracted considerable attention worldwide due to its excellent physicochemical properties, including optical properties, electrical properties, and thermal properties. After extensive exploration of the performance and potential applications of graphene, graphene research is currently focused on realizing practical applications of graphene materials, including probes, transparent electrodes, sensors, field effect transistors, electromagnetic attenuation materials, and the like. There are several methods by which high quality graphene films can be grown on metal or dielectric substrates, such as redox methods, epitaxial growth methods, and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Among them, CVD is the most commonly used method for synthesizing graphene thin films at present. The method has the main advantages that high-quality graphene with controllable layer number can be obtained, but the practical application is considered, and meanwhile, some limitations still exist. Synthetic methods based on CVD processes still require heating the sample for a relatively long time, are prone to damage to the nano-sized tips, and are not suitable for growing graphene on high curvature surfaces.

In order to solve the problem, the inventor firstly coats a layer of carbon on the silicon-based probe and then coats a layer of metal on the silicon-based probe, wherein the carbon layer is used for protecting the silicon-based probe, so that the damage to the needle tip caused by the reaction between the silicon-based probe and the metal coating can be avoided.
