Advantages of graphene based devices
•

•
•
High carrier mobility (>10.000 cm²/Vs at RT)
High current carrying capability (>108 A/cm²)
Ultimately thin, ultimate incarnation of the surfaces
p- and n-type behavior nearly symmetric
Challenges for realizing graphene based FETs
 Introducing a band gap (and preserve carrier mobility)
(target: Ion/Ioff>104)
 Wafer-scale synthesis of graphene
8
Graphene FETs
Three concepts for introducing a band gap:
• Graphene nanoribbons
• Bilayer Graphene with I electric field
• Doping of graphene (replacing C-atoms)
Experimentally realized yet

• On/off ratios >104 achievable for w < 4 nm
Contra:
• Mobility limited to values < 1.000 cm²/Vs
• Edge-roughness dominates transport in devices
• Width must be controlled with atomic precision

Summary
Routes for realizing graphene based FETs
explored theoretically and experimentally:
• Graphene nanoribbon FETs show promising on/off
ratios for w<4 nm.
Draw backs: Low mobility and currently not realizable.
• Bilayer tunneling FETs are a promising route for lowpower application.
Advantages: Experimentally already realizable and high
mobility.
