Abstract The integration of graphene into nanoelectronic devices is dependent on the availability of direct deposition processes, which can provide uniform, large-area and high-quality graphene on semiconductor substrates such as Ge or Si. In this work, we synthesised graphene directly on p-type Ge (1 0 0) substrates by chemical vapour deposition. The influence of the CH4:H2 flow ratio on the graphene growth was investigated. Raman Spectroscopy, Raman mapping, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy and Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy/Scanning Tunnelling Spectroscopy results showed that good quality and homogeneous monolayer graphene over a large area can be achieved on Ge substrates directly with optimal growth conditions.
