Abstract

We demonstrate the fabrication of nanoperforated graphene materials with sub-20-nm features using cylinder-forming diblock copolymer templates across >1 mm2 areas. Hexagonal arrays of holes are etched into graphene membranes, and the remaining constrictions between holes interconnect forming a honeycomb structure. Quantum confinement, disorder, and localization effects modulate the electronic structure, opening an effective energy gap of 100 meV in the nanopatterned material. The field-effect conductivity can be modulated by 40× (200×) at room temperature (T = 105 K) as a result. A room temperature hole mobility of 1 cm2 V−1 s−1 was measured in the fabricated nanoperforated graphene field effect transistors. This scalable strategy for modulating the electronic structure of graphene is expected to facilitate applications of graphene in electronics, optoelectronics, and sensing.
