▎ 摘 要
We report for the first time on graphene transistors that incorporate a remote plasma-assisted atomic-layer-deposited Al2O3 gate dielectric that is directly deposited to chemical-vapor-deposited monolayer graphene at 100 degrees C. Following dielectric formation, atomic force microscopy and Raman measurements show apparently uniform conformal coverage and retention of a nearly intact film with a slightly increased level of disorder and some signs of additional doping. Using this process, 3-mu m gate length transistors with sub-10-nm gate insulator thickness are constructed, and electrical measurements demonstrate a drive current of 0.6 A/mm and a peak transconductance in excess of 90 mS/mm with V-gs = 0 V and V-ds = 1 V, which is greatly improved over coprocessed devices with SiO2 interfacial layer with the same bias. With optimization, the plasma-assisted ALD of high-k dielectrics to graphene may potentially be useful for the design of future graphene-based technology.
