Abstract

The primary semiconductor device is the field-effect transistor, that has evolved with Moore’s Law and is now produced in large scale, reported as 1018 per year. These devices have a gate-electrode that draws carriers to a channel connecting the source and drain electrodes, in the ON condition of the device. Graphene has good conduction properties suitable for the channel of such devices, but lacks a high resistance state needed to turn the device OFF.
