Channel length scaling and electrical characterization of graphene field effect transistor (GFET)

Abstract

<p>The exclusive monoatomic framework of graphene makes it as an alluring material to be implemented in electronic devices. Thus, using graphene as charge carrying conducting channel material in Field Effect Transistors (FET) expedites the opportunities for production of ultrasensitive biosensors for future device applications. However, performance of GFET is influenced by various parameters, particularly by the length of conducting channel. Therefore, in this study we have investigated channel length scaling in performance of graphene field effect transistor (GFET) via simulation technique using Lumerical DEVICE software. The performance was analyzed based on electrical characterization of GFET with long and short conducting channels. It proves that conducting channel lengths have vast effect on ambipolar curve where short channel induces asymmetry in transfer characteristics curve where the n-branch is suppressed. Whereas for output characteristics, the performance of GFET heavily degraded as the channel length is reduced in short channels of GFET. Therefore, channel length scaling is a vital parameter in determining the performance of GFET in various fields, particularly in biosensing applications for ultrasensitive detection.</p>

Infection-Mediated Clinical Biomarkers for a COVID-19 Electrical Biosensing Platform

“…The incorporation of 2D nanomaterials, especially carbon-based nanomaterials, as the transducing channel material elevates the sensitivity of a sensing platform to its surrounding charges. Hence, the use of the GFET device developed by our group for ultra-sensitive detection is proposed for the detection of these infection-mediated clinical biomarkers [ 107 , 108 ]. This optimized single-layer graphene-based sensing platform exhibited an LOD of as low as ag/mL ( ) and a linear detection range from pg/mL to mg/mL for the effective sensing of anti-diuretic hormone.…”

Geometrical Characterisation of TiO2-rGO Field-Effect Transistor as a Platform for Biosensing Applications

“…Furthermore, synthesis of nanocomposites of rGO with n-type metal oxides improves the homogeneity of the material deposited in the channel, resulting in better conductivity of the FET [ 16 ]. The most important factor to determine a more sensitive biosensor is the optimisation of the nanostructures appropriate to the transducing material, where many researchers have devoted their time [ 3 , 14 , 17 ] Kobayashi et al suggested that in order to enhance the performance of rGO-metal oxide devices, it is critical to model and understand the electrical conduction process [ 18 ].…”
