Pathways to the Graphene Transistor
Abstract Silicon-based electronics are hitting their limit. Graphene, since its discovery, was hoped to be a possible replacement that could allow us to continue to increase computing performance beyond where silicon will leave it. Graphene, however, is not semiconducting by default: a property that is key for transistor fabrication. In this paper, we explore three potential pathways to modify graphene to be semiconducting: quantum confinement, chemical modification, or by epitaxial growth. ...
