SpectraFormer: an Attention-Based Raman Unmixing Tool for Accessing the Graphene Buffer-Layer Signature on SiC
- 基于Transformer的深度学习模型,直接从部分遮蔽数据重建碳化硅背景
- 成功还原出传统方法无法探测的弱振动特征,与理论计算高度一致
- 无需参考样本,适合实时分析,可集成到自动化生长优化系统
拉曼光谱是石墨烯表征的关键工具,但其在碳化硅(SiC)上生长的石墨烯应用中受限于基底强烈的、可变的二级拉曼响应。这一限制对半导体性界面相——缓冲层石墨烯尤为严重,因其振动特征与SiC背景重叠,且传统基于参考的减法方法受基底信号空间与实验条件变化影响,难以可靠提取。本文提出SpectraFormer,一种基于Transformer的深度学习模型,能直接从生长后部分遮蔽的光谱数据中重建SiC拉曼基底贡献,无需显式参考测量。通过学习全拉曼位移范围内的全局相关性,模型捕捉了基底的统计结构,实现混合光谱中基底信号的精确重构。减去重建的基底信号后,揭示了传统方法无法获取的弱振动特征,对应于零层石墨烯(ZLG)。这些特征经第一性原理振动计算验证,可归属为特定振动模式,且物理上自洽。该方法利用先进的注意力架构,建立了一种稳健的、无参考的石墨烯/SiC拉曼分析框架,兼容实时数据采集,为集成到闭环人工智能辅助生长优化系统提供了基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Raman spectroscopy is a key tool for graphene characterization, yet its application to graphene grown on silicon carbide (SiC) is strongly limited by the intense and variable second-order Raman response of the substrate. This limitation is critical for buffer layer graphene, a semiconducting interfacial phase, whose vibrational signatures are overlapped with the SiC background and challenging to be reliably accessed using conventional reference-based subtraction, due to strong spatial and experimental variability of the substrate signal. Here we present SpectraFormer, a transformer-based deep learning model that reconstructs the SiC Raman substrate contribution directly from post-growth partially masked spectroscopic data without relying on explicit reference measurements. By learning global correlations across the entire Raman shift range, the model captures the statistical structure of the SiC background and enables accurate reconstruction of its contribution in mixed spectra. Subtraction of the reconstructed substrate signal reveals weak vibrational features associated with ZLG that are inaccessible through conventional analysis methods. The extracted spectra are validated by ab initio vibrational calculations, allowing assignment of the resolved features to specific modes and confirming their physical consistency. By leveraging a state-of-the-art attention-based deep learning architecture, this approach establishes a robust, reference-free framework for Raman analysis of graphene on SiC and provides a foundation, compatible with real-time data acquisition, to its integration into automated, closed-loop AI-assisted growth optimization.
