Analysis of Local Properties and Performance of Bilayer Epitaxial Graphene Field Effect Transistors on SiC

Résumé

Epitaxial bilayer graphene, grown by chemical vapor deposition on SiC substrates without silicon sublimation, is crucial material for graphene field effect transistors (GFETs). Rigorous characterization methods, such as atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, confirm the exceptional quality of this graphene. Post-nanofabrication, extensive evaluation of DC and high-frequency properties enable the extraction of critical parameters such as the current gain (fmax) and cut-off frequency (ft) of hundred transistors. The Raman spectra analysis provides insights into material property, which correlate with Hall mobilities, carrier densities, contact resistance and sheet resistance and highlights graphene’s intrinsic properties. The GFETs’ performance displays dispersion, as confirmed through the characterization of multiple transistors. Since the Raman analysis shows relatively homogeneous surface, the variation in Hall mobility, carrier densities and contact resistance cross the wafer suggest that the dispersion of GFET transistor’s performance could be related to the process of fabrication. Such insights are especially critical in integrated circuits, where consistent transistor performance is vital due to the presence of circuit elements like inductance, capacitance and coplanar waveguides often distributed across the same wafer.
