Abstract

Graphene, a monolayer of carbon atoms tightly packed into a two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal lattice, has recently been successfully isolated from highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and shown to be thermodynamically stable and to exhibit astonishing transport properties, such as an electron mobility of ∼ 25, 000 cm2∕Vs and velocity of ∼ 108 cm∕s at room temperature [1, 2, 3]. With the high carrier mobility enabled by its unique electronic structure, graphene has attracted many research efforts recently. Initial works have demonstrated the great potential of graphene for modern electronics applications. These efforts are focused on overcoming the challenges faced to incorporate graphene into microelectronic applications. The three particular challenges are developing a synthesis technique to manufacture graphene over wafer-scale areas, opening an energy bandgap in graphene, and forming a high-quality gate dielectric on the surface of graphene.
