The transfer characteristics measured between 77K and 300K exhibit very good performance for effective gate lengths down 15nm, emphasizing the very good control of short channel effects and subthreshold behavior. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the low field mobility clearly indicates that, for long devices, it is limited by phonon scatterings whereas, for sub 100nm gate lengths, the mobility is significantly degraded and almost independent with temperature. This feature is attributed to scattering by neutral defects, which are originated from source and drain process and extending over several tens of nm along the channel.","PeriodicalId":144827,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Workshop on Low Temperature Electronics (WOLTE)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131572571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Features in the magnetic field dependence of longitudinal resistivity were interpreted in terms of weak localization and Landau level position. We extracted carrier density and mobility values for our devices, and interpreted the behavior of resistivity against magnetic field and temperature. Furthermore, we discussed the impacts of synthesis and fabrication on the mobility of graphene. Finally, we were able to gain information on the underlying scattering by analyzing the magnetic field and temperature dependences of the longitudinal resistance.","PeriodicalId":144827,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Workshop on Low Temperature Electronics (WOLTE)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134594519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The built LNA has been measured in a calibrated noise/gain/S-parameters setup and the data shows the LNA has a noise temperature of as low as 5K (or about 0.074dB noise figure) and more than 20dB of Gain on the 100MHz-1GHz band. The input and output of the LNA are matched to 50 Ohm, an S11 and S22 of less than -10dB at most frequencies have been measured.

The amplifier was operated at as low as 0.7mW power dissipation with a measured 8K of noise (or about 0.12dB Noise figure) and 20dB of Gain at 500MHz.
