Abstract:
1. A method for synthesizing a thin film, the method comprising the steps of (a) providing a substrate support assembly comprising at least two selectively interdigitable substrate support fixtures; (b) loading a substrate for thin film synthesis onto said at least two fixtures; (c) interdigitating said at least two fixtures; (d) positioning said at least two fixtures in a reaction chamber and forming a thin film on a surface of the substrate; and (e) unloading the substrate from said at least two fixtures; wherein each of said at least two fixtures comprises a base member and at least one interdigitable substrate engagement member; wherein said at least one interdigitable substrate engagement member comprises at least three interdigitable substrate engagement members; wherein the thin film is selected from the group consisting of graphene and boron nitride.
