We present a route for the fabrication of novel ultrathin (∼1 nm) carbon films and membranes, whose electrical behavior can be tuned from insulating to conducting. Self-assembled monolayers of biphenyls are cross-linked by electrons, detached from the surfaces and subsequently pyrolized. This transformation was characterized by a variety of complementary spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Above 1000K, the cross-linked aromatic monolayer forms a mechanically stable graphitic phase consisting of nanosize patches of graphene. The transition is accompanied by a drop of the sheet resistivity from ∼108 to 102 kΩ/sq and a mechanical stiffening of the nanomembranes from ∼10 to 50 GPa. The technical applicability of the nanosheets is discussed.
