Influences of temperature on graphene surface treatment using trimethylaluminium ( TMA ) and H 2 O were investigated for a growth of Al 2 O 3 film by atomic layer deposition ( ALD ) on graphene. It has been reported that a nucleation of Al 2 O 3 film on the graphene surface was enhanced significantly by a surface treatment using TMA and H 2 O at 100 ° C prior to the deposition of Al 2 O 3 film by ALD at the same temperature. Here, we investigate influences of the surface treatment temperature on the nucleation of Al 2 O 3 film grown by ALD on graphene surface. It is revealed that the nucleation of Al 2 O 3 film is degraded as the surface treatment temperature increases from 150 to 200°C. The origin of the deteriorated nucleation of Al 2 O 3 film is attributed to a decreased density of C–O and OC–O defects on the graphene surface at the high temperature (200 ° C).
