Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a graphene nano array. The method includes: preparing a substrate having a graphene sheet disposed thereon; sequentially forming a protective layer, a sacrificial layer and a resist layer on the graphene sheet; forming a hole pattern in a surface of the resist layer; etching the sacrificial layer and the protective layer along the hole pattern to form a trench such that a portion of the protective layer adjacent to the graphene sheet can remain; forming a metal layer of a nanocup pattern along a sidewall of the trench while rotating the trench; removing a lower surface of the metal layer to form a metal layer in a nanotube pattern; removing the resist layer and the sacrificial layer; etching the protective layer and the graphene sheet adjacent to the protective layer along the nanotube pattern; and removing the protective layer and the metal layer, thereby providing a graphene nano array having a large area at low cost. The graphene nano array may be used as channels of a field-effect transistor.
