Graphene - suitable for harsh enviornment? Ramy et al. say no in pss-RRL!

5/9/2014
Ramy et al. have shown no in their just accepted paper in Phys. Status Solidi RRL entitled, “Atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) grown bi-layer graphene transistor characteristics at high temperature”. In this paper, we have reported the characteristics of atmospheric chemical vapor deposition grown bilayer graphene transistors fabricated on ultra-scaled (10 nm) high-k dielectric aluminum oxide (Al2O3) at elevated temperatures. We observed that the drive current increased by >400% as temperature increased from room temperature to 250°C. Low gate leakage was maintained for prolonged exposure at 100oC but increased significantly at temperatures >200 °C. These results provide important insights for considering chemical vapor deposition graphene on aluminum oxide for high temperature applications where low power and high frequency operation are required.

More we want, Ramy!
