Abstract
In this study, we investigate the impact of thermal annealing on the electrical characteristics of epitaxial graphene field effect transistors. Top gated devices were fabricated from graphene obtained on silicon carbide (SiC) substrate. Thanks to an annealing at 300 °C, the performance of the devices was enhanced by a factor of 90. The maximal transconductance reached significantly high values such as 5300 μS/μm at VD = 3 V, corresponding to a carrier mobility of 2000 cm2 V−1 s−1.
► We used a 20 nm ALD alumina layer as high-k gate dielectric on graphene. ► Annealed alumina dielectric prevents graphene from adsorbing impurities. ► This annealed alumina dielectric enhances the performance of graphene FETs.
