CVD assisted fabrication of graphene layers for field effect device fabrication

Abstract

In this paper, we report on the fabrication and characterization of graphene layers for graphene field effect devices. After the graphene layers are fabricated by means of chemical vapor deposition using a methane feedstock, the band gap is engineered confining the lateral dimensions of graphene in order to obtain graphene nanoribbons. Contacting the graphene nanoribbons with appropriate metallic materials will lead to field effect devices suitable for various applications.
