ABSTRACT
Different kinds of carbon sources are available today, including graphite, C60 fullerene, amorphous carbon (amorphous carbon), etc. There are reports in the literature where amorphous carbon is used as the solid carbon source to obtain non-transferable graphene on nickel or cobalt thin film, which is used as both a substrate and catalyst, and annealed at elevated temperatures. There are different placements of carbon source, and the most suitable placement that facilitates graphene synthesis will be discussed. This chapter shows that graphene synthesis on copper is possible with amorphous carbon as the solid carbon source, and the growth mechanism of graphene is explained. The ability to synthesize the graphene layer using amorphous carbon source and copper as catalyst enables low-cost application of graphene on copper that can enhance the properties and extend the applications of copper film. .
