ABSTRACT
GRAPHENE
Graphene is an allotrope of carbon, whose structure is one-atom-thick planar sheets of sp2-
bonded carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice.
Graphene nano-electronics is an emerging area of research. The 2010 Nobel Prize for physics
was awarded to A. Geim and K. Novoselov for the discovery of graphene and its unexpected
physical properties, paving the way for many new applications in the area of nanoelectronics,
nano-optics, and solid state physics. The most-studied microwave device is the graphene
transistor, which, in only three years, has reached a cut-off frequency of 100 GHz. In this
paper, the graphene nanoelectronics progress in synthesizing wafer-scale monolayer-
controlled graphene and fabricating high-speed graphene FETs (GFET) with the highest
value reported cut-off frequency approaching 100 GHz was reported. As consequence of this
impressive development, the prediction that a 0.5-1 THz graphene FET transistor will soon
be demonstrated is quite realistic. Moreover, graphene multipliers and other microwave
graphene devices are expected to follow the graphene FET development dynamics and reach
100 GHz in few years.
