AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In a graphene field effect transistor, in order to reduce the parasitic capacitance between the gate and the source-drain electrodes, a certain passage area needs to be reserved between the gate-source and the gate-drain. Since graphene has a single atomic layer structure, its own square resistance very big

In addition, since the graphene in the access region is not regulated by the gate voltage, the Fermi level is close to the Dirac point, and the electron energy state density is low, which will also produce a large resistance.

In traditional silicon-based field-effect transistors, the resistance of the access region can be reduced by doping, but this is not applicable in graphene field-effect transistors, because graphene is a two-dimensional structure, and direct doping will destroy graphene. Full lattice adversely affects device characteristics
